Union Bank has made the decision to close all of its lobbies across Vermont due to safety concerns amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In a statement released by the bank, they explained that the decision was made in order to protect the health and safety of both their customers and employees.
While the bank’s lobbies will be closed, drive-thru services and ATMs will remain open for customers to access their banking needs. The bank is also encouraging customers to utilize their online and mobile banking services as much as possible to limit in-person contact.
The decision to close the lobbies comes as Vermont continues to see an increase in COVID-19 cases, with many businesses and organizations taking precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Union Bank’s move to close their lobbies aligns with the current guidelines and recommendations set forth by health officials.
Customers who need to speak with a banker or access safe deposit boxes will be accommodated by appointment only. The bank has also implemented enhanced cleaning and safety protocols in their locations that remain open to ensure the health and safety of those who visit.
Union Bank joins a growing list of businesses across Vermont and the country that have had to make adjustments to their operations in response to the pandemic. While these changes may be inconvenient for some customers, the priority remains on keeping everyone safe and healthy during these challenging times.
Overall, Union Bank’s decision to close their lobbies reflects their commitment to prioritizing the well-being of their customers and employees. By taking proactive measures to limit in-person interactions, the bank is doing their part to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in their communities.
