Banks make money off of other people's money. A growing movement encourages ordinary people to invest their money in their communities, instead of in the “too big to fail” banks whose risky investments helped tank the economy.
A report from the firm Javelin Strategy and Research found that between November 2011 and January 2012 5.6 million people moved their money out of big banks and into local banks and credit unions.
