As the COVID-19 Delta variant spreads across the nation, three credit unions from different corners of the United States announced they are requiring COVID-19 vaccines for all employees "as a condition of employment." The credit unions may be among the first in the industry to have this requirement.
The credit unions are:
- Credit Union of Texas in Allen, Texas, with $1.7 billion in assets and 143,811 members.
- Allegacy Federal Credit Union in Winton Salem, N.C., with $1.9 billion in assets and 164,574 members.
- Hawaii State Federal Credit Union in Honolulu, with $2.2 billion in assets and 121,177 members.
