Our Loves Park & Rochelle Lobbies are Open for Business - June 26, 2020
We are thrilled to welcome you back with open arms (from a social distance, of course!). In addition to your financial well-being, your health and safety are a top priority.
To help protect you and our team members, here’s what we have put in place:
- Enhanced cleaning efforts taking place throughout the day
- Clear plastic panels installed at the teller stations and in-branch offices
- Hand sanitizer available throughout our lobbies
- Social distancing measures, including floor markers and limited building capacity
You can expect the same personal attention you have always received, but there are a few new procedures for how we interact.
Be prepared before you head out the door:
- Masks are required. Our social distancing and enhanced sanitizing practices are designed to keep you and our team safe
- Bring your government-issued ID. You will be asked to remove your mask temporarily and present your ID for identification purposes before entering the lobby. As always, we ask you to remove hats and sunglasses while in our location
- If our building is at capacity, you may be asked to briefly wait outside
Don’t forget! You can schedule a face-to-face or virtual appointment online. Our drive through is also open and you can access our digital services, including online and mobile banking, any time and anywhere.

Fraudsters haven’t wasted any time with scams related to the Coronavirus. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has received several reports of Coronavirus scams where individuals are contacted through text messages, social media posts/messages or phone calls. With the Government Coronavirus Stimulus Checks, there is an increase in number of complaints.
Please Do Not Give Out Any Personal Information
- Do not share account numbers
- Do not share social security numbers
- Do not pay a processing fee for receiving a stimulus payment
Risk Mitigation:
- Be aware of coronavirus scams through text alerts, email and newsletters
- Government agencies do not communicate through social media outlets, such as Facebook
- Never pay a fee for a government grant. A government agency will never request an advanced processing fee to receive the grant
- Beware of fake government agencies promoted by fraudsters.
- The only official list of all U.S. federal grant-making agencies can be found at www.grants.gov
Coronavirus direct payments will likely be in the form of direct deposits or through U.S. Treasury checks. Fraudsters may look to seize the opportunity to create counterfeit U.S. Treasury checks in their scams. They may also attempt to scam you into providing your account number under the pretense of direct depositing the stimulus payment to your account. DO NOT GIVE YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO ANYONE.
Please contact our Member Contact Center directly if you have questions at 815-282-0300.
