Banking with a credit union can save on fees—but there are limitationsOn the surface, banking with a credit union may seem a lot like a traditional bank. But it’s not. 

Credit unions are similar to commercial banks in that they offer chequing and savings accounts, mortgages, business loans, online banking and registered savings plans—all for lower or no fees than traditional lenders.

Customers have to buy a one-time membership share to get started, said Wendy Brookhouse, certified financial planner and CEO of Black Star Wealth. “Walk in, say: ‘I’d like to become a member’ and pay for your membership share,” she said. “You’re now banking there.”

The results announced Wednesday were hotly anticipated because Nvidia has emerged as key barometer of a two-year-old AI boom that has been propelling the stock market to new heights. The Silicon Valley chipmaker also became the first publicly traded company to achieve a $4 trillion market value. (All figures in U.S. dollars.)

In recent weeks, though, research reports and comments by prominent tech executives have raised investor fears that the AI mania has been overblown.

And now Nvidia’s latest numbers covering the May-July period may feed those perceptions because the sales of the company’s processors—indispensable components in the AI data centres being built around the world—aren’t growing as robustly as they once were. The late 2022 release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT unleashed a technological phenomenon that is starting to reshape society…
