    The financial meltdown of the past five years has led to calls for many things: tighter regulation, new taxes, big-bank breakups, and last weekend Bank Transfer Day. But what if institutions took it upon themselves to police themselves and make financial services a little (or a lot) friendlier for consumers? In the video below, CFSI’s Ellen Seidman argues for a voluntary structure that matches up well with what credit unions already do, and might keep further regulation at bay.
