Had to choose between a big bank and a local credit union for my business account

I mean, the bank offered a slick app and a $500 sign-up bonus, but the credit union guy in town said they wouldn't ever freeze an account over a political tweet. I picked the credit union about 6 months ago. It's been solid, no weird holds on my deposits. Has anyone else gone with a smaller place because of their speech policies?

My buddy's bank froze his account after he bought some hunting gear online...

Good call, that's exactly why I went with a local place too.

It's not just speech, they're less likely to flag your account for buying legal stuff banks find "suspicious" too.
