It seems that the credit unions are being transparent with the help they're willing to offer while most of the big banks are waiting for it to be asked for.
You can get $2500 loan from BECU during current Covid 19 economic slowdown. I think you get 90 days without payments then it is $104 per month for 24 months. I am in no need for such loan but I thought I would share it here.

Very true, but not surprising.
I however haven't received anything from DCU, nor does it seem anywhere on site. Suggests members have to ask.

I mean DCU is saying people who have been "directly affected" so I would imagine they're acting more like a bank with this one.

As someone who risks getting infected every day, as someone who's been in contact with at least five infected patients, as someone who risks bring this home to my children every day, and as someone who would care for you should you get sick before me, I totally and utterly fail to see what you're finding so funny.
Right when I thought I've seen it all ...
