MIAMI LAKES, FL (March 1, 2013) - JetStream Federal Credit Union announces a zero percent Furlough Relief loan to assist their members who are employed by the federal government in the event of a government shutdown.
JetStream Federal’s Furlough Relief Loan offers a 60 day no interest, no payment, up to $2000 loan to qualifying members. Members who take advantage of the Furlough Relief loan will need to repay the balance of the loan at the end of the 60 day period. If the amount cannot be repaid at that time, the loan will convert to a 12 month signature loan with an 8.99% interest rate.
“The FAA and other branches of the federal government have been our core membership since 1947. Assisting our members during this challenging period by providing them with financial options is our top priority.” said Jeanne Kucey, CEO/President of JetStream Federal.
