Years ago, one of my credit unions used SSN as the account number... so every one of our checks had our SSN printed right on it.

awesome!

In my experience, credit unions are usually worse than Banks on the security side. There are exceptions, but they are not the norm.

One credit union I dealt with always opened and closed with a single employee. Very dangerous for the employee. This same union kept the A and B part codes to their vault in a locked desk drawer(one of those cheap desk drawer locks that anyone can pick with a paper clip) in the lobby, and full internet access was available on all computers. Tellers all shared a single cash drawer and the teller PCs were routinely used by the tellers for general web surfing, Facebook, Pandora, etc...
