If requested, payments will be suspended for federal employees who are impacted. Customers can contact the borrower assistance team at 844.279.2748 or homeownersupport@ibcp.com to work one-on-one with an Independent Bank representative.
Independent Bank will also work with all customers who are federal employees on any fees or issues incurred as a result of the shutdown. Customers should contact their local banking office or call 800.355.0641 for assistance.
