Government shutdown assistance

A lapse in federal government funding, for any period of time, can have far-reaching consequences on consumers and communities. The credit union difference was on full display during the recent government shutdown, as credit unions provided assistance to members whose financial well-being was put at risk.  America’s Credit Unions, together with leagues and other partners, worked to support the industry and advocate for the government to restore stability for consumers.  Our outreach efforts are shared below.

Participate in our survey

We urge credit unions that provided individualized support programs during the most recent government shutdown to share their efforts in our survey.  That participation will help ensure credit unions’ actions nationwide are accurately calculated, enabling us to share how credit unions stepped up to serve members in times of crisis. 

If you have questions about the survey, please contact our Market Intelligence Team at marketintelligence@americascreditunions.org.
