Covid-19 Update To Members
February 21, 2022 Update on Safety Measures
In addition to the safety precautions already in place, NLCU is instating the following measures, effective immediately:
- Our branches located at Torbay Road and Water Street in St. John's have reopened to members.
- Over-the-counter, transaction-based services are reduced. We encourage you to use our ATM, Automated Teleservice, Member Solutions Centre, and online banking service options.
- Two (2) members at a time are permitted in all other NLCU branches. Please wait in your vehicle until it is your turn for in-branch service. You may leave your cell phone number with a Member Service Advisor who can call you when it is your turn.
- Call our Member Solutions Centre at 1-800-563-3300 and leave a detailed message regarding a service request. The centre is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. NST.
These safety measures at NLCU will remain in force until such time as the current Special Measures Order is lifted.
Protect Yourself Against Fraud
NLCU will never send you unsolicited emails asking for confidential information, such as your password, PIN for your MemberCard, or account numbers. Please do not respond to unsolicited emails, text messages, websites, social media prompts, or pop-up windows that request information. We also remind you not to open attachments or click hyperlinks in emails or text messages that are sent by someone you don't know or recognize.
