Government Shutdown Assistance

If your pay has been delayed or interrupted, we’re here to help.

 
VA Desert Pacific Federal Credit Union is committed to supporting our members during the government shutdown. You can securely submit a request online for either a Skip-A-Payment (Auto/Signature loans) or a Bridge Loan (3% APR, up to 12 months). Our Loans team will follow up with you personally to complete next steps.
