The $196 million JetStream Federal Credit Union based in Miami Lakes, Fla., issued a statement today to CU Times from the credit union's president/CEO Jeanne Kucey regarding the state of its San Juan, Puerto Rico branch after Hurricane Irma hit the island earlier on Thursday.
"We are happy to report that all of our PR (Puerto Rico) team members are accounted for, safe and sound. They are all without water and electricity. Water should be restored in the next few days, there are no estimates on when electricity will be back on. Surprisingly, neither our branch or signs were damaged, electricity is on (via generators) and all of our IT equipment came back up…Thanks for your concern!"
CU Times will have updates from Jet Stream Federal Credit Union's Puerto Rico location as we learn more.
