Visiting a branch
Updated December 18: In response to increases in positive COVID-19 cases across the country and updated CDC guidelines, we are requiring everyone to wear a face covering before entering any of our branches or locations, even if not mandated by local ordinances. We feel this heightened safety precaution is necessary as we remain committed to your health as well as to that of our employees and communities. Alternatively, you can get many of your banking needs done online, using our mobile app, at an ATM, and at our drive-up lanes.
As always, if you are sick, have recently tested positive, or have been exposed to COVID-19, please do not come to a branch or office.
Please check availability and hours of operation status before you leave your house. If you’d like to meet with a banker, consider making an appointment so you can avoid waiting in line.
How we’re keeping branches and equipment clean and safe
We continue to enhance the measures we already have in place to ensure the health and safety of our customers and employees who continue to work at our locations, following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and public health guidance.
We have implemented enhanced cleaning procedures, installed hand sanitizers for both customer and employee use, and shipped nearly 700,000 cloth face masks to open branches, operations centers, contact centers, and other administrative sites across the country, with more in the pipeline.
While our ATMs and keypads are serviced daily to minimize the spread of COVID-19, please consider wearing a mask and gloves when at the ATM and using hand sanitizer afterwards. Do not spray cleaning solutions or use sanitizing wipes on the ATMs, which can damage them.
