​

We are committed to working with our borrowers who may be experiencing financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  We understand it may be difficult to make loan payments in full and/or on time, therefore we are deferring loan payments for 60 days, with no late fees or negative impact on your credit.

​

Like you, we are uncertain as to the extent of the current business interruption. However, you can rest assured that we remain committed to offering assistance.

As always, thank you for being a loyal client.  We will remain focused on the well-being of our community.  We will also continue to keep you informed of additional resources, including grants, that may come available during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to best support you.
