ACU (America’s Credit Union), today announced additional measures it has implemented to further support members who are experiencing financial hardships as a result of COVID-19.

“The most important message for people to know is that we want to help them with their situation. If they are running into a problem, we want them to call and work with us. We feel that It is our duty as an economic driver in the South Puget Sound to help stabilize our members and the community right now. We have taken steps to help our members get through this crisis and will do more. We all may need to change how we do business in the coming days and weeks, but we remain strong and sound and are not going anywhere. We must work together to help provide support to those impacted by this pandemic,” said Ken Leonard, President/CEO of ACU. “Members who are financially impacted should contact us right away so we can help navigate through the financial uncertainty they may be experiencing during this difficult time.”
