Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, some bank branches may be closed temporarily, while others may be offering limited services and be operating on a reduced schedule. Check your local branch before visiting.

The U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) advises: "In difficult circumstances, some banks may need to temporarily limit operations to protect the health of their employees and customers. This may include closing a lobby, converting to drive-thru only services, or encouraging customers to use ATMs or digital channels to access their services.

"Regardless of the bank's operating conditions, your money is insured by the FDIC. Deposits with an FDIC-insured bank or savings institution will continue to be protected up to at least $250,000," the FDIC says.

See more information about deposit insurance at the FDIC website.
