Greater Metro & COVID-19

To All of Our Greater Metro Members,

Update March 24, 2020

We hope everyone remains Healthy and Safe during these unprecedented and trying times.

Greater Metro remains open EVERY DAY to serve our members. We have, however, curtailed some of our face to face services. The VA Branch will operate M- W- F from 9AM to 1PM with regular hours on Payday Fridays. Please remember that we have a Surcharge Free ATM in the VA lobby. Although we are running with regular hours (8:30AM-4PM) in Long Island City, our Cash Teller Service Window will close at 2PM. Please call ahead for cash withdrawals greater than $1,000.

This is a great time to sign up for Online Banking, downloading our Mobile App and signing up for Remote Deposit. Check availability of our Shared Branch partners.

STAY SAFE!

March 17, 2020

The nation is under siege as everyone tries to navigate through unchartered waters. We at the Credit Union hope that you and all those close to you are healthy and safe.

So far, it is business as usual here at Greater Metro. We have plans in place, should the need arise, for all staff to work remotely and continue to serve our membership. The Teller Window in Long Island City remains open as does our Branch at the VA Hospital.

Our Shared Branch Network is still available to members, but that service may be curtailed based on the respective actions of the credit unions offering this accommodation. Drive-thru’s should be operational.

It’s Me 247 Online Banking, Remote Deposit and our Mobile App are all available for members to conduct financial transactions. Our Automated Phone System is also available.

The recent FED interest rate cuts will impact Variable Rate loan products as of April 1.

We will do our best to keep everyone informed through Online Banking, our Website and by Email.

Remain Safe!

Sincerely,

Peter Nalaskowski

President/CEO
