Dear Member,

As we prepare to re-open branch lobbies, I want to share several actions we have taken to protect the health and well-being of our staff and members to control the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) following the mandates of the Governor and guidance of the CDC and local public health authorities. Your branch experience will look different as we navigate this dynamic situation. We will continue to make proactive decisions to offer a safe environment for members and staff to conduct financial transactions.

Please continue to utilize the drive-thru or our digital banking services whenever possible.

  • Avoid close contact: Please maintain social distance in our facilities by allowing 6 feet of space between yourself and others.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes: Remember to always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow. Throw used tissues in the trash and wash your hands.
  • Wear a mask: We ask that you wear a face mask while in our branches. We may ask that you remove your mask momentarily for identification.
  • Clean and disinfect: We will continue to follow the proper cleaning protocol of our facilities, ATM’s electronics, and soft surfaces.
