My Citibank cards charge me $14.95 I believe if I want to make a payment by phone but they are free online.
Many, but not all, Credit Unions are part of the CU Service Center network. Basically, they have service centers and you can do your stuff at other credit unions just like (well, very much like) you were at your home credit union. I use CUs too, they are quite a bit like banks and still hit you with plenty of fees, but at least your savings earns more than 0.000000017% a year and they usually have fewer bullshit "account maintenance fees".
