Usually they say they will beat anyone’s advertised price or give it for free (or discounted)
If I’ve heard correctly, the problem is that distributers set a contract for the lowest price that may be advertised. A company may still sell for less.
I’m not disagreeing with you Radelow, just ranting…

They are not really exposed to subprime mortgages, but have heavy exposure to jumbo 80% loans in rapidly depreciating markets like Stockton, Sacramento, Concord, and Tracy. I don’t think they will have any mortgage write downs until the other shoe falls on prime borrowers.
Their CEO just dropped their private ASI share insurance in favor of comming back to Federally insured status. The Patelco CEO (Andy) sat on the board of ASI and in one signiture reduced ASI exposure by 40%.
Here is an excerpt I got from Patelco in October about bad loans. No mention of Alt-A, Neg am or prime exposure as requested in my original requret.

Dear Mr. XXXXXXXXX
. . .
Our participation in sub-prime lending was limited to the investment made in ACC several years ago, and was sold and written off at the end of 2006. We have no sub-prime mortgage or auto loans in our portfolio, and our HLPR loan portfolio consists of 2 loans totaling approximately $500,000. Both are paying as agreed.
Patelco is well capitalized with over $400 million in reserves, and a net worth ratio of 10%.
I hope I have addressed your concerns and reassured you of Patelco’s financial strength, and that you will again be comfortable bringing your deposit and loan business to Patelco Credit Union.

Sure it’s only $1000, but that’s better than a kick in the face.
What are the requirements for membership though?
