Columbia Credit Union is offering two assistance opportunities for those impacted: a 0% APR Short-Term Government Shutdown Loan and a Loan Skip-Payment Program
VANCOUVER – Columbia Credit Union is offering assistance for those whose pay has been impacted by the current government shutdown. In times of financial or political uncertainty, credit unions remain stable and operational through their member-owned, not-for-profit model. Columbia Credit Union’s services and support systems continue uninterrupted during the current shutdown — and their priority on community-based financial wellness means they’re stepping up to help.
Columbia Credit Union is offering two assistance opportunities for those impacted: a 0% APR Short-Term Government Shutdown Loan and a Loan Skip-Payment Program. Both are designed to help members (or new members) whose pay has been impacted by the government shutdown.
Those interested can call, come by a local branch, or visit ColumbiaCU.org/Government-Shutdown-Assistance to get started.
