Pen Air ready to assist members affected by shutdown

In response to the possible federal government shutdown, Pen Air Federal Credit Union will offer its member-owners with direct deposit, a 6-month, no-interest loan up to the full amount of their paycheck.
“We are a local institution providing local solutions,” said Pen Air President/CEO Ron Fields. “Our members have enough on their plates. They shouldn’t have to worry about receiving their paycheck, too.”

If they are affected by the shutdown, member-owners should simply stop by their nearby Pen Air branch or call (850) 505-3200 to make loan arrangements. Pen Air FCU will also assist non-members with a personal loan up to the amount of their paycheck for a term of six months. The interest rate will be based off of the person’s credit worthiness. Member-owners with existing Pen Air loans can contact the Credit Union to arrange for payment options.

“Call us,” Fields said. “We will work with you.”
