Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services issues message to consumers addressing financial concerns

State Issues Covid-19 Michigan Banking Credit Union

On March 17, Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services Director Anita Fox published a letter to consumers seeking to address financial concerns stemming from the Covid-19 crisis and emergency measures. In the letter, Fox assured consumers that Michigan’s financial institutions are well-positioned to sustain the impacts of the crisis, and reminded consumers that deposits in state’s banks and credit unions are federally insured. Fox also recommended that consumers take advantage of remote banking capabilities and contact their financial institution with any questions pertaining to in-person operations or concerns involving extensions of credit.
