Government Shutdown Resources

Impacted by the government shutdown? We’re here for you.

In light of the federal government shutdown beginning October 1, we’d like to share some resources on how UBT can assist you if you are affected. Read on for some examples of how UBT can lend a hand.

  • Missed Payments & Overdrafts

    Assistance with loans and deposit accounts

    Loan customers: If you have a consumer loan with UBT, contact our Collections team to discuss your options for a hardship extension.

    Deposit customers: If you experience an overdraft due to missed paychecks because of the shutdown, contact our Customer Service department to discuss your options and how we can help.

    Remember, we can’t help you if we don’t know there’s a problem, so please don’t hesitate to contact us!
