Real Talk: How to deal with unexpected expenses
Unexpected expenses happen to the best to us. How do you manage when you're hit with an unexpected expense?
We know the COVID-19 pandemic is causing concern and uncertainty for us, our members, and the communities we serve. These are unprecedented times and it is a new and uncertain reality for all of us. Our top priority is helping to ensure the well-being of all concerned while continuing to meet the banking needs of our members.
We are here to help you navigate these uncharted waters. If you have questions or concerns about your personal financial situation, please reach out to your credit union for guidance and support. We will be there to offer advice and solutions specific to your needs and situation. We know these are stressful times and we also know it’s our job to reduce that stress in whatever ways we can.
Our decisions are being guided by the advice of public health officials. For us, that means adjusting our hours to ensure the safety of our employees and members, offering online services, and being a source of stability and reassurance.
Credit unions have been a key part of the communities in which we operate for close to a hundred years. We know the power of community—take care of yourselves, your families, and your friends. We’re in this together. Your health and financial well-being are top of mind for us, now more than ever.
We don’t know what other steps government is going to take in the coming days; so, we may need to make further changes in how we operate. We will do everything reasonable to serve you while putting the health and safety of our members, staff, and community first.
Take care of yourselves, your families, and your neighbours, and remember, we’re here to help. Please continue to stay in touch.
