COVID-19 Important Update
12/22/20 Update
Dear Member:
As you know, the current coronavirus pandemic continues to be a very prevalent part of our daily lives in the northwest Ohio region, as well as throughout the state and nationwide.
All of us at Glass City FCU truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we may need to continually adapt our branch operations due to the pandemic. This may include temporarily limiting access to one or more branch locations if needed.
To provide ongoing optimal health and safety measures for our members and employees, we are suggesting the following: utilize our drive-up lanes and 24/7 branch ATMs, use Glass City Home and Mobile Banking for 24/7 access to your accounts, call in advance for an in-person branch appointment, and strive to do your branch banking alone. Also, while you are visiting our branches, the State of Ohio mandate requires that you wear a face mask (single-use masks and hand sanitizer will be available as needed) and use our social distancing floor decals to follow 6-feet apart guidelines. In addition, our staff continues to wear personal protective equipment and are frequently sanitizing “high contact” areas within our branches.
To protect our staff and membership, we will continue to follow recommendations from federal, state and local health officials in regard to the pandemic.
Please visit the home page of glasscityfcu.com for updates to our current branch operations. We encourage you to contact your nearest Glass City branch if you have any questions or if we can be of assistance.
Thank you for being our member. We’re working for you!
Sincerely,
Mark Slates
President & CEO

We will continue to follow recommendations from federal, state and local health officials in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to prioritize the health and safety of our members and staff.
