More than 4,900 members living in areas affected by the hurricanes and fires received an email from EECU with information about its disaster assistance program. The program offers qualified members zero percent interest for one year on existing overdraft protection loans and signature lines of credit, deferred loan payments, higher Visa credit card limits, and fee waivers on funds withdrawn from a certificate before maturity. The program is designed to help lessen financial stress during challenging times.
EECU has a dedicated phone line that its members can call to learn more about the relief options available to them. It activates the disaster assistance program to support its members who are impacted by fires, hurricanes, floods, and other natural disasters; assistance is also available to those experiencing a financial hardship due to a job loss or other circumstance.
