Those are credit unions aimed at federal employees. Which means that a large chunk of their ownership is people affected by the shutdown. That’s not charity so much as helping themselves. Which is still great, obviously, but I wonder how it is for affected people who don’t belong to federal employee credit unions.

Chase and Citi have similar programs as well:

It's one of those cases when every dime in interest will cost you a dollar in reputation.
