Offering Help to Customers Impacted by Government Shutdown.

ND & MN – Gate City Bank is reaching out with a helping hand to those experiencing financial hardship due to the recent government shutdown.

Introducing the BetterLife™ Relief Loan.

The bank is offering a BetterLife™ Relief Loan to federal government employees who are directly impacted by the shutdown. Available with zero interest and no fees, this short-term loan is intended to help cover delays while they are not receiving a paycheck.

For many individuals and families, it can be overwhelming to figure out how they are going to buy groceries or pay the utility bill this month.”

Additional Loan Assistance Options.

Gate City Bank is also providing assistance with loan payment options. “We take pride in working together with our customers and finding a solution that puts their minds at ease,” adds Settel.
