Working to keep you safe: COVID-19 Updates

Effective March 15, both of our branches are offering in-branch services with a limited number of members in the lobby. However, we still strongly encourage you to utilize your remote banking options to access and transact on your accounts during this time.

Our staff will be taking extra safety precautions, such as wearing face coverings and sanitizing between each member visit. Making an appointment ensures that staff have adequate time to clean and prepare for your visit, but is not required. The credit union is closed from 1pm-2pm to allow our staff to take a lunch break.

We also ask that you wear a face covering while inside the branch, and limit the number of people in your visit to the credit union to two – if you have a health condition that would prevent you from wearing a face covering or need other accommodations, please let us know prior to your appointment so that we may best serve you when you arrive.

If you are concerned about making your loan payments or accessing your money due to job layoff, job loss, or illness:

Please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your options. We are committed to be by your side through these uncertain times to develop a solution that works for you.
