Effective Thursday, March 19 we made the proactive decision to close all branch lobbies and in some cases reduce branch operating hours. While our lobbies may be temporarily closed, at most branches they continue to remain available by appointment. We continue to serve our customers through our drive-thrus, ATMs and secure night drops.
We have increased our cleaning efforts in all branches and corporate offices, with additional focus being placed upon the disinfecting of areas including door handles/push-bars, ATM key pads and external surfaces touched by customers, countertops, desktops and workstations, bathroom surfaces, sinks and doors, stairway and stair well handrails, elevator buttons (inside and out).
We are continuously communicating and educating our employees on ways to prevent the spread of coronavirus / COVID-19 and are establishing protocols and policies that help us effectively respond to virus-related scenarios.
With low rates, simple payment options, an easy application process and approvals made right at your branch, a personal loan can help provide relief in tough times.
We are committed to helping you during this uncertain time. We know that your day-to-day may be impacted by the current events, and we may be able to offer financial relief options for your existing Community Bank accounts. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us—we are here to help.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act is a $2 trillion relief package including rebates for individuals, small business loans, increased unemployment benefits and a variety of tax breaks. Community Bank is no longer accepting PPP applications at this time. Reach out to your local banker with any questions.
If you live in the state of New York, you may be eligible for extended grace periods and other rights under your life insurance policy or annuity contract if you can demonstrate financial hardship as a result of the coronavirus (“COVID‑19”). These grace periods and rights are currently in effect but are temporary, though they may be extended further. Reach out to your policy representative to learn more.
Please know that Community Bank will never contact you to provide or verify your personal account information such as full social security or account numbers, online banking account username or password.
