The Raccoon Valley Bank will temporarily end walk-in lobby banking effective Wednesday, March 18, Raccoon Valley Bank President and CEO Terry D. Nielsen announced Tuesday.
“First and foremost, the safety and health of our staff, customers and community is our number one priority,” Nielsen said, describing the the closures as “in the best interest of our communities and in making the effort to do our part.”
He said the banks’ lobbies will remain closed until further notice, but the drive-ups will remain open with regular business hours. The Minburn branch of the Raccoon Valley Bank will remain closed because it has no drive-up or ATM availability.
“We will reopen only when we feel it is safe to do so,” Nielsen said. “As everyone is aware, the situation with COVID-19 is rapidly changing each day and as our plans change, we will be sure to let you know.”
