Support for Austin FCU Members During the Government Shutdown

We understand a government shutdown can be a stressful scenario for our impacted members. If you’re directly affected by the shutdown, we can help. We have several options available:

Emergency Furlough Loan Program – no credit check loans that allow members to borrow up to 75% of your net direct deposit for one pay period*
Payment Deferrals – Payment deferrals for up to 3 months on most Austin FCU loans
Grace Period – all Austin FCU loans come with a 10 day grace period. So, if you just need a few extra days don’t worry about it, just pay before the grace period is up and carry on next month like usual.

Contact our Lending Team at 512-444-6419 option 7 or at [email protected] to discuss what options are available to you.

*Must be a member in good standing. Calculation is based on net deposit to your Austin FCU account. Loan funds will be deposited on the date of the missed payroll deposit. In the event that backpay is received, Emergency Furlough Loans must be repaid at the time the backpay is deposited. If backpay is not received, loans convert to a 24 month personal loan at 6.00% Annual Percentage Rate.
