COVID-19 UPDATE – 19th July 2021

 LASER’s Arrangements post 19th July 2021

From 19th July 2021 the Government will ease restrictions and has said that it is up to individuals and businesses as to how they manage the virus.  Public Health advice, and the view of Government’s scientific advisors, is that the pandemic is not over and that it is inadvisable to abandon all precautions.  LASER’s message to members is therefore that we will continue to operate as we have done throughout the pandemic.  Rates of covid-19 are rising and therefore we are continuing to ask you to limit your visits to our office.  If you do visit our office, we will continue to operate our “one in – one out” policy, and would prefer that you:

COVID-19 MEMBER UPDATE

UPDATED COVID ARRANGEMENTS – 22ND SEPTEMBER 20

Yesterday afternoon the Government reminded everyone that the Covid virus continues to pose a serious risk to health, and tightened the rules for individuals and businesses. The new rules are expected to last for months, and may be tightened further if infections increase.

Since March LASER Credit Union has been able to operate almost as normal, and we want to continue that as far as possible. But we have been making major changes behind the scenes to enable customers to access many of our services, such as requesting a BACS payment or a top-up loan, from the comfort of your own home using your smartphone, tablet or laptop using our mobile app. Customers who regularly withdraw cash at our office can also apply for an “Engage Card” – a VISA debit card that lets you have 24hr access to your money by using any cash machine.
