As you may know, the federal government officially shut down at midnight today. We understand this can bring uncertainty, especially if your household is affected by furloughs, work stoppages, or delayed pay.
At Metro Credit Union, our commitment to you remains strong. Our operations are fully open and unaffected, and we're here to help you navigate any financial challenges this situation may bring.
Your Money is Safe
All deposits at Metro are fully insured through the NCUA and MSIC. You can continue to access your accounts, online banking, and branch services without interruption.
Support If Your Income is Disrupted
If you or a family member are impacted by the shutdown, please reach out to us early. We offer:
• Hardship Assistance for Borrowers: Including payment deferrals, loan modifications, and fee waivers.
• Metro Assistance Portal (M.A.P.), powered by Starlight: A resource hub to help you discover government and community benefits you may qualify for.
You can contact us through your Digital Branch, secure message, or by phone (877.MY.METRO), whichever is most convenient for you.
