As lawmakers continue to negotiate on funding legislation to keep the federal government operating beyond September 30, we want to assure you that FHLBank Chicago will continue to conduct business as usual should a government shutdown take place. Our ability to fund in the open markets and extend liquidity to members is not directly impacted by a government shutdown. 

In the event of significant volatility, your ability to execute advances greater than overnight on our eBanking platform may be impacted. If you encounter issues transacting on eBanking, please call our Member Transaction Desk at 1.855.345.2244, option 1.

As always, FHLBank Chicago is standing by as a reliable partner to serve the needs of your institution and your community.
