On Monday, the American Bankers Association, America’s Credit Unions, Association of Military Banks of America, Consumer Bankers Association, Defense Credit Union Council, Financial Services Forum, Mortgage Bankers Association and National Bankers Association issued the following statement:

“We welcome news of the bipartisan deal to reopen the government. The time has come to end the shutdown and the damage it’s doing to the U.S. economy and to communities. We urge lawmakers to support this agreement, bring the shutdown to an end and resolve their remaining policy differences with the government open and functioning.”
