- Budget counseling and Member Assistance Program
- Installment loan deferments
- U First credit card with 0% Intro APR for six months, then a variable rate from 9.99% to 18.00% APR
“When unexpected circumstances impact our Members’ lives, United steps up to help them through it,” said Chief Innovation and Marketing Officer, Erin Hennessy. “Even a slight disruption in someone’s finances can be stressful, especially when it concerns their job. United makes relief programs like these available so our Members can breathe a little easier when times are uncertain.”
