The $599 million Justice Federal Credit Union in Chantilly, Va., said it would offer its members from the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security interest-free and then low-interest unsecured loans if the federal government shuts down next week.

The 56,400-member credit union said it also would allow existing members with a Justice FCU consumer loan or Visa credit card to request one payment deferral per loan. The personal loans could be for up to $10,000 and will convert to 4.9% for a term of 24 months after 60 days.

Justice FCU also invited new members to join.

Navy Federal earlier this week said it would cover direct deposits of active duty military members if the shutdown occurs next week.
