Federal Government Shutdown Assistance Available
In the face of this federal government shutdown, we want to reassure our members that Cedar Point is here to support you through the financial challenges you may encounter. We understand that funds may get tight, and endeavor to provide the tools and resources that our community needs in times like these.
How Cedar Point Can Help:
-
Paycheck Relief loan: Qualifying furloughed members can use this loan to bridge the gap between paychecks. This loan has limitations, so please contact us to discuss your options.
-
Loan Skip-a-Pay: We understand that making loan payments may be difficult during a shutdown. You can skip up to two payments on your existing loan, and they can be consecutive months if you choose. These are approved on a case-by-case basis.
-
Low-Rate Credit Cards: Transferring your balance to a Cedar Point credit card is fee-free, and our rates are as low as 8.00% Annual Percentage Rate. If you think you'll need to carry a balance, this card is right for you.
-
Financial Counseling Services: Our team of financial experts can work with you one-on-one to create a personalized plan. Whether you need help budgeting, accessing emergency funds, or managing your finances, we’re here to provide guidance and support.
-
Waiver of Withdrawal Penalties: We understand that having funds held in Certificate accounts may not be ideal during this time. If you need to withdraw funds from your certificate, we can waive the penalty fee. This is approved on a case-by-case basis.
Important Next Steps:
-
Review Your Accounts: Check your current accounts to ensure they are in good standing. If you are experiencing any challenges, reach out to us so we can work with you on a solution.
-
Set Up Direct Deposit: If you haven’t already, set up direct deposit for any remaining income sources to ensure quick access to funds.
-
Contact Us Early: If this shutdown is affecting you, please contact us right away if you anticipate any financial hardships or disruptions. We’re here to assist.
-
Update account information: If you were using your work email for your primary method of contact, and you are now furloughed, we can't reach you. Be sure to update your contact information with an email where we can reach you when you aren't at work.
At Cedar Point, we stand by our commitment to serving you, especially during challenging times. We’ve helped our members through previous shutdowns, and we’re prepared to do the same again, ensuring you have the financial stability and resources you need. For more information or to speak with one of our representatives, please contact us at 301-863-7071 during business hours. We're invested in our community, and we stand ready to help in times of need.

Order Checks
Members can order checks, choose a new check design, and view their check order status through vendors Harland Clarke or Deluxe. Members can reorder checks through Digital Banking under “Services.”
