eAGLE INFORMATION & RESPONSE TO cORONAVIRUS

As your credit union, our top priority is providing accessibility to your funds and financial services while being mindful of the health of our members and employees. We are working hard to provide everyone the safest possible environment by regularly cleaning high touch surface areas, have made hand sanitizer openly available and actively promoting best practices recommended by the CDC. As more information becomes available regarding the Governmental and medical professional response to the COVID-19 outbreak we will strive to keep you, our members updated on the situation. We want to assure you that the credit union does have an operational pandemic response plan and is taking the necessary steps to maintain a safe working environment for both staff and members.

federal economic impact payments

The IRS is in the process of sending out the COVID-19 Economic Impact Payments to eligible members. The funds will be electronically credited to your account if you have previously filed and paid or received your prior years taxes electronically. You can check your Eagle CCU account via the credit unions app or online banking site at: www.eaglecu.org

Please do not call or come into one of our branches requesting information regarding the posting of these payments to your account.

For check deposits we encourage all members to use the credit union’s Remote Deposit feature available in the Eagle App. Using Remote Deposit is safe and secure, best of all it saves you a visit to the branch and is a good social distancing tool. Remember during the shelter at home order, only visit a branch if you have essential business that cannot be conducted electronically and please wear a face mask if visiting a branch.

Again, we request that you do not call the credit union regarding the status of any Economic Impact Payments as we do not have the information relating to how much, if any, or when the payments will be received. The payments will be posted to members accounts when received.

To determine if you are eligible to receive an Economic Impact Payment please visit the IRS website for complete information. Visit the IRS Website

Thank you for your cooperation.
