GreenState and COVID-19 Q&A

Face Mask Policy

The health and safety of our employees, members and the communities we serve will always be our highest priority. With that focus in mind, masks are required when entering GreenState Credit Union branches.

We continue to monitor safety protocols from the CDC as well as state and local health officials. The CDC  has stated that cloth masks are a critical tool in the fight against COVID-19 and can help reduce the spread of the virus.

Our mask policy is an enhanced safety measure intended to help limit the spread of COVID-19. All GreenState employees will continue to wear masks while interacting with our members.

We encourage any member who prefers not to wear a mask to utilize our branch drive-ups, online chat, contact our staff, or call our Member Assistance Center at 800-397-3790.


Procedures for Branch Visits

Before visiting a branch lobby, please review these procedures to maintain everyone’s health and safety.

  • Those that are ill are asked to stay home with the recommendation of taking advantage of phone or online services. As always, our online services make it easy to transact on the go! From new accounts, to credit cards, to loans, our staff are ready and eager to serve you from the convenience of your home.
  • Face masks are requried when entering a GreenState Branch. 
  • Hand sanitizer stations will be in the front entry for all members to use as they enter and leave our branches.
  • Distance markers have been placed on floors as a reminder to maintain 6 feet of social distance when possible.
  • Hand shaking, as a social greeting, will be temporarily discontinued.
  • For safety reasons, coffee service, magazines, and children’s toys will be discontinued in our lobbies.
  • The number of guests allowed in our lobbies will be limited. Maximum capacity counts will be posted at the front entry of each location. Upon reaching maximum capacity, it is requested that members wait in their cars until the next person leaves.
  • Appointments with a staff member at your local branch are recommended for any services beyond standard teller window services. 

Safety and Soundness

Q: Are my deposits insured?
A: Yes. GreenState Credit Union along with all Iowa state-chartered credit unions maintain federal share insurance by the National Credit Union Administration, the credit union equivalent of the FDIC. Deposits are insured up to $250,000 per individual depositor.

See the NCUA’s recent Share Insurance Press Release for additional information.

Q: Is GreenState in a strong financial position?
A: At a time when there is so much uncertainty, you can rest assured in the strength and stability of GreenState.  Our net worth (capital position) is at 9% and we remain well-capitalized by industry standards.  We are currently holding abundant liquidity and enter this unknown period with lower than peer average loan delinquency.  In short, we are well-positioned to weather this storm and assist our members in whatever way necessary.

Q: Do we have adequate staff to manage GreenState?
A: GreenState has disaster recovery plans in place to address critical situations. Key operational staff have the ability to work from home if necessary. Our core system is operational and convenience services such as ATMs, online banking, mobile banking, debit cards and credit cards are fully functioning.


Accessibility

Q: Are GreenState branches open?
A:
All branch visits will be by appointment only beginning November 16th. We will keep drive-up services open at all offices that offer this method of transacting business. Regular business hours apply.

Q: What can be done through a drive up?
A: Deposits, withdrawals, transfers, loan payments, credit card payments, credit card cash advances, check cashing and balance inquiries. If you wish to open an account or access a safe deposit box, we ask that you call the branch and make an appointment.

Q: What electronic means of doing business are still available?
A: All electronic services (ATMs, Online Banking, Mobile Banking, Remote Check Deposit, etc) will remain up and running. Our Call Center and online chat will also remain open for regular business hours. Credit and Debit Cards are fully operational.

Q: How can members set up an appointment to visit with GreenState staff?
A: Please call the direct branch office to set up an appointment (branch numbers listed at the bottom of this section).  If there is specific staff that you work with, you can also find their direct contact information here.

Q: What can be done through GreenState’s Call Center or by calling the branch directly?
A:  These days most new account openings can be done over the phone and by electronic transmission of documents for signatures.  In fact, most new deposit and loan accounts are done this way.

Financial & Personal Assistance

Q: What can a member do if their personal income is disrupted by this situation?
A: Our staff is here to help. Please reach out to us through your local Branch or the Member Assistance Center so that we can discuss your personal needs and work to find a solution. 

Q: What other resources are available for financial assistance?
A:
Be aware that there are services outside of GreenState that also may be of help to members, such as unemployment insurance. Click here for additional resources from Iowa Workforce Development.

Q: What else should members be on the lookout for?
A: Be mindful of fraud. Criminals exploit crisis situations to get you to release your personal information. Always remember that GreenState will never call or e-mail members to ask for personal information.


Staff and Community Support

Q: How is GreenState helping staff?
A: GreenState is asking staff members who have any symptoms to stay home to help protect their health, their coworker’s health, and the health of our members and community.  Many staff members have the ability to work remotely from home if needed and staff members will receive full pay and benefits in any case where they are asked to stay home. Like most banks and credit unions, we have converted our lobbies to appointment only and engage in a regular thorough cleaning of any shared spaces.

Q: How is GreenState helping Iowans?
A:GreenState has gifted $250,000 to the Iowa Credit Union Foundation's new Emergency Relief Fund. Donations will be used to assist individuals, small businesses and state-wide disaster relief efforts due to the Coronavirus pandemic, which has caused a major disruption to the state's economy, the income of many Iowans and the health of small businesses across the state.

Credit unions across the state have come together to support this crucial fund. For more information, see https://www.iowacreditunionfoundation.org/emergency-relief-fund
