Loan Deferal and Emergency Assistance Programs

April 10, 2020 

We are working to provide assistance to those facing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 crisis. If you currently have a loan with the EEFC FCU and anticipate difficulties making your monthly payments, you may be eligible to have your loan deferred for up to six months. If you have been furloughed or face reduced hours at work, our emergency loan program may be able to help.

Loan Deferment Program

If you currently have a loan with the EEFC FCU, and your finances have been affected by COVID-19, you may be eligible for assistance through our Loan Deferral Program. This initiative is intended to provide immediate financial relief for individuals experiencing hardship as a result of the COVID-19/Coronavirus Pandemic.  Approved applicants will receive:

• Immediate relief on payments

• Up to 6 months deferment of principal and interest (interest continues to accrue while the loan is deferred) 

• No fees 

• No negative impact to credit report

Emergency Loans Available

If you have been furloughed and are in need of immediate financial assistance, our emergency loan program may be able to help: 

• Maximum amount: $3,500

• Rate: 4.99% 

• Term: 6 months

• No monthly payments. After 6 months when the loan matures, you can either pay off the loan in full or refinance at our regular personal loan rate & terms.

• Members must meet our regular personal loan guidelines to qualify, however we will determine your eligibility using your prior period paystubs, (income from the end of Jan to end of Feb). 

STATEMENT ON THE EAST END FOOD CO-OP FCU’S RESPONSE TO COVID-19 

March 19, 2020 (updated October 5th 2020 - extended until further notice)

The EEFC FCU has been monitoring developments related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the health and well-being of our local community. While the situation continues to evolve, we understand the importance of preserving reliable access to your financial resources in times of uncertainty. To ensure that we are able to continue to serve the East End community during this crisis while safeguarding the health of our members, staff and volunteers, the Credit Union is taking the following steps:

Until further notice, the Credit Union will adhere to the below hours of operation:

• Wednesdays from 4:00pm - 7:45pm

• Fridays from 3:00pm - 7:00pm

• Saturdays from 11:00am - 3:00pm.

(Other hours available by appointment)

In addition to these changes, the Credit Union encourages its membership to consider the following to help us reduce in-person contacts:

• Account inquiries can be made via phone, email and online banking

• Deposits (checks & money orders) can be sent to the Credit Union by mail. 

• If you need to make a withdrawal, the Credit Union can mail you a cashier’s check free of charge. Checks can be requested by phone, email and through online banking

• Loan applications can be requested by phone or email. Completed applications can be returned by mail or email. 

• If you need to visit the Credit Union in-person, you can call ahead to schedule a time to drop by. This will allow the Credit Union to stagger in-person visits to minimize your contact with other members.

We thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we work to do our part to slow the rate of infection and help protect the most vulnerable in our community.
