Forecasters said they expect Hurricane Idalia to slam Florida’s west coast and portions of the panhandle sometime early Wednesday morning as a Category 3 storm with winds between 111-129 mph. In preparation for the storm, PSCU has closed its headquarters in St. Petersburg, Fla., and several credit unions have closed or are closing dozens of branches early Tuesday; those branches will remain closed at least until Thursday.

The CUSO giant, PSCU, sent out communications to its credit union partners late Monday stating, “PSCU’s headquarters in St. Petersburg, Fla., which is located in an evacuation zone, will be closed on Tuesday, Aug. 29 and Wednesday, Aug. 30. Leveraging our hybrid/remote workforce, our dispersed contact center footprint and our business continuity measures, PSCU will remain fully operational and our credit unions can expect business as usual during this time. Additionally, our data centers are located remotely in other areas of the country and no significant business impacts are expected.”
