Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates from Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union

As you know, we are once again faced with rising health concerns given the increase of COVID-19 cases. At Jeanne D’Arc we have been successfully cautious in managing the safety and health of our employees and members. Despite this, staffing challenges have forced us in some instances to close a branch with little notice. We strive to provide a safe environment and consistent service. We feel the best way for us to balance these objectives is to return to limited access to our branch lobbies until further notice.

In times like these scammers take advantage of people. Be aware of phishing emails related to the Coronavirus. Here are a few tips to keep you safe from fraudsters:
