# Coronavirus/COVID-19 update

To our valued members,

We take the health and safety of our members and employees very seriously. As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to affect people and businesses across the country, we want to share some of the actions SCVO Credit Union is taking to help protect you and our employees.

We are closely monitoring official guidance and have initiated our Business Continuity Plan. SCVO has created an online resource with information and links on Coronavirus/COVID-19 for voluntary sector organisations, which is being updated daily: [https://scvo.scot/support/covid-19](https://scvo.scot/support/covid-19)

Despite the intensifying impact of the current situation on our economy, your financial security is being safeguarded by the Credit Union, and our commitment to providing exceptional products and services remains as strong as ever. Should you encounter hardship because of coronavirus/COVID-19, please contact  [credit.union@scvo.scot](mailto:credit.union@scvo.scot)  

We value your membership and the privilege of serving you. We are prepared, and we will make decisions with the health and well-being of our members and employees in mind. 

Sincerely,

Tom McVay

SCVO Credit Union Manager
