The health and safety of our members, employees, and communities are very important to us. While our branches are open and remain fully operational, we want you to know what we’re doing to maintain a comfortable banking experience inside of

Employees of the Credit Union have increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting our branches, particularly in high-touch areas.

For your convenience and the health of all those who visit our branches, hand sanitizers and/or disinfectant wipes are available at our teller stations and member service desks. If you are sick, especially with a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, please consult a medical professional. Employees are also being encouraged to stay home should any symptoms become evident.

Оновлено в Понеділок, 16 Березня 2020 року

Здоров’я та безпека наших членів, працівників та громад – наш головний пріоритет.

Як результат, починаючи з понеділка, 16 березня 2020 року наші філії Webster (NY), Amherst (NY), and Rancho Cordova (CA) будуть тимчасово зачинені.

По необхідності, ми будемо повідомляти про будь-які оновлення через наш вебсайт, електронну пошту та засоби масової інформації.

Оновлення станом на п’ятницю, 13 березня 2020 року

Здоров’я та безпека наших членів, працівників та громад є дуже важливими для нас. Поки наші філії відкриті та повноцінно працюють, ми хочемо, щоб ви знали, що ми робимо для підтримки зручного банківського обслуговування в наших філіях, а
також повідомляємо про різні доступні вам цифрові ресурси.

Ми активно вживаємо запобіжнi заходи, щоб допомогти зберегти колектив кредитноi cпiлки, наших членів та навколишні громади УФКС здоровими та проінформованими про випадки COVID-19 / Coronavirus у США. За даними CDC (Центру контролю та профілактики
захворювань) безпосередній ризик для здоров’я від COVID-19 все ще вважається низьким (читайте докладніше).

Ми закликаємо кожного використовувати засоби профілактики:

  • Часто мийте руки.
  • Прикривайте ваш ніс і рот, коли ви чхаєте чи кашляєте, використовуючи одноразову серветку або згин ліктя.
  • Не торкайтеся ваших очей, носа та рота.
  • Остерігайтесь контакту з хворими людьми.

Співробітники Кредитної спілки збільшили частоту вологого прибирання та дезінфекцію наших філій та предметів частого вживання.

Для зручностi i безпеки всіх, хто відвідує наші філії, антибакреріальний гель та дизиінфікуючі серветки є в наявності біля кожної відчиненої каси та MSR. Якщо ви хворі, особливо з підвищеною температурою, кашлем та ускладненим диханням, будь ласка, проконсультуйтесь з медичним спеціалістом. Працівники також попереджені залишатись вдома при перших проявах симптомiв.

Доступ до рахункiв УФКС через веб сайт та мобiльний додаток працює 24/7.

Або просто зателефонуйте, якщо вам потрібно допомога з вашим рахунком за номером (877) 968-7828.

Ми також є частиною мережi банкоматiв та спiльних вiддiлень СО-ОР, яка надає нашим членам безкоштовний доступ до рахункiв в бiльше як 30 000 банкоматах та близько 5,000 спiльних вiддiлень по всiй країнi. Надішліть текст повідомлення з вашим поштовим iндексом на номер 91989, щоб знайти мiсце розташування найближчих банкоматiв та спiльних фiлiй або зателефонуйте (888)748-3266. Ви також можете натиснути тут,
щоб здiйснити пошук на нашому вебсайтi.

Ми продовжуватимемо стежити за ситуацiєю та оновлювати iнформацiю за потребою.

З повагою,
Олег Лебедько, Головний виконавчий директор

Василь Корнило, Президент
