NEW YORK – Though directly impacted by the terrorist attacks on September 11, Municipal Credit Union has still taken the time to salute those fallen heroes that were lost in the World Trade Center. The $906 million credit union, which serves the firefighters, police officers and other municipal/government employees, has identified those members deceased or missing and the board has unanimously decided to close and absorb any outstanding loans those members may have had. "It is a way to honor the bravery of these remarkable members and provide comfort to their families," said MCCCU President William Porter. "It's our small way of trying to help. They are all part of our family and we are deeply saddened by their loss." MCU is contacting families to help them expedite their financial affairs. MCU serves over 300,000 members.
