NOTICE: Branch Lobbies Closing
April 30, 2020
I hope this statement finds you well. We are excited to announce that our lobbies will re-open to the public starting next Monday, May 4th, 2020. After much analysis, we along with our friends and patrons, feel comfortable with this decision. We will follow government guidelines as required and we will keep safety a priority. If you don’t feel comfortable entering the lobbies, we suggest continued use of our drive-thru, ATMs, and Online Banking platforms to conduct banking transactions. Keep in mind, if you do enter our lobbies and you are wearing facial protection, we might ask that you identify yourself by briefly removing these items. This is strictly a security measure, and by no means are we asking you to subject yourself to an uncomfortable situation. If you are not comfortable with this measure, you can use the drive-thru, as previously mentioned, to conduct your transaction.
We remain cautiously optimistic this pandemic is behind us, and we look forward to returning to some semblance of normalcy. As you may have heard, we recently provided an additional $250 in our employee’s paycheck with one suggestion, use those dollars at a local business affected by Covid-19. It is our way of stimulating our local communities. Additionally, we are buying every employee lunch next week from a local restaurant. Thus 89 meals a day will be bought from a local restaurant. Again, this is our way of saying “thank you” and “we got your back”.
We look forward to seeing you soon. Please follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates on how FCB employees are spending their stimulus dollars, #TEAMFCBCARES. We are FCB STRONG and we are here for you.
Sincerely,
Rob Barger
President and CEO
