TUMCU Emergency Loans for those affected by the Government Shutdown

Oct. 24, 2025

We know there are people out there working for the Federal Government who are working without pay, been furloughed or laid off, or are otherwise suffering as a result of the current government shutdown.
We would like to help.

The United Methodist Credit Union is offering low-interest loans (6%), to those impacted to help them through this period.  These loans are non-underwritten (meaning no credit report check is needed), are simple to apply for, and you will not need to begin repayment until January of 2026.
Getting an emergency loan is easy:

  • If not already a member, you would first need to become a member (at no charge), at the following link > https://www.tumcu.org/join/
  • Then, once your membership has been set up and you have received your TUMCU Member number, fill out the simple online application here > https://www.tumcu.org/emergency-loan-application/
  • If approved, the loan can be processed and the funds disbursed within 1-2 business days.

If you have any questions about these loans, you can call us at (804)672-0200.
