COVID-19 Update

Updated on May 14, 2021

We are here for you.

As we continue to monitor the spread of COVID-19, we want you to know that we care about your health and safety. We are taking steps to help minimize the impact of COVID-19 on our members, employees and the communities we serve.

On May 13, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new guidelines advising that fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a face mask or stay 6 feet away from others in most outdoor or indoor settings.  Masks will still be required in health-care settings, at businesses that mandate them, or on public transportation.

Following CDC guidelines, your credit union will no longer require fully vaccinated individuals to wear masks inside our lobbies, starting May 14, 2021.  A fully vaccinated individual is someone who has received two doses of the Pfiser or Moderna vaccines OR one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.  It is recommended to wait until at least two weeks after your last shot before considering yourself fully vaccinated.

Our lobbies and drive thru lanes are open with normal business hours of 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Friday in the lobby with drive thrus opening at 8:00 a.m. on Friday.  We are requiring unvaccinated individuals to bring and wear a face mask in order to enter the branch lobbies.

Keeping both our members and employees safe is our highest priority and we will continue to monitor the CDC guidelines as they are updated. 

If you have any questions, please call our Call Center, available from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at 228-539-7029, Option 2.

For your lending needs, please email us at [email protected] or call 228-539-7029, Option 3. If you have questions or issues with an existing loan, please contact our Member Solutions Department at 228-539-7029, Option 6 or [email protected]. 

  • If you cannot utilize the drive thru and must come into the branch, hand sanitizer is available at each teller station and loan office for our members.  Unvaccinated individuals will be required to wear masks to enter the branch lobbies.
  • Gulf Coast Community Federal Credit Union has hired a professional cleaning service to completely clean and sanitize all branches four times each week.
  • We are monitoring the spread of the virus at the local & national levels and are following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

As we continue to monitor the spread of COVID-19, we wanted to share ways we can help minimize the impact of COVID-19 on our members, employees and the communities we serve.  And, if you have been financially impacted by the Coronavirus outbreak, we encourage you to call us to see how our Hardship Assistance Program can benefit you.  This Program has many solutions, including payment reduction relief and payment deferments for our consumer and mortgage loans.
