Four New York-based credit unions that serve the taxi industry in New York City and elsewhere are reporting a rough 2015 as the impact of popular rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft continue to ripple through their fields of membership.
Those four cooperatives are the $179 million, 2,900-member Montauk Credit Union of New York City; the $271 million, 3,000-member LOMTO Federal Credit Union in Woodside; the $2.1 billion, 24,000-member Melrose Credit Union in Briarwood and the $692 million, 3,800-member Progressive Credit Union in New York City.
The credit unions have histories of lending to the New York City taxi industry, financing the purchase or leasing of taxi industry medallions (licenses to operate yellow taxis in New York City), or financing other loans with the medallions as collateral.
