HOBOKEN, N.J. — If there were consumers in the Hoboken, N.J., area seeking to take advantage of Bank Transfer Day, they were greeted with many lock doors this morning, visits to about a dozen credit unions near Credit Union Times' Hoboken offices revealed.

Only one of the credit unions visited or called was open. The Jersey City branch of the $426.8 million Chicago-based Selfreliance Ukrainian American  Federal Credit Union was open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. as usual.

Branch Manager Olha Ilnicki at first appeared to be unaware of Bank Transfer Day. But when prompted, she said had heard of it. She declined to comment on whether the movement has had an impact on her branch and said any comment would have to come from credit union executives who were unavailable Saturday.
