Georgia United understands many people are struggling to make ends meet during these difficult times. That’s why are excited to share we helped close to 5,000 members from March to July of this year to defer their loans through our Skip-A-Pay program. Members are typically given one Skip-A-Pay a year, but to help our members we extended the program to offer three months of deferment and removed the $25 fee. We are thrilled to be able to help our members in this matter and look forward to continuing to build strong communities. #GUCUcares
