COVID-19 Response Plan
March 16, 2020 – (COVID-19) Update: Effective Wednesday, March 18 Branch Locations Open for Drive-up Only
The health and safety of our customers, employees, and communities continues to be our top priority. To accomplish that and do our part to slow the spread of the virus, we will close our branch lobbies to customer traffic and serve our customers via drive-up window, ATM, and electronic banking services.
Effective Wednesday, March 18, 2020, we are taking the following precautions:
- All branch locations will be open for banking business at our drive-up windows only. Visit the Hours & Locations page on the website for more information.
- We anticipate our branch lobbies will remain closed until on or around April 1. No walk-in service will be available.
- Our Cohasset Village office, at 40 South Main Street, will be closed entirely. Please visit the drive‐up window at our Cohasset 3A office located at 800 Chief Justice Cushing Highway.
- Access to your Safe Deposit Box will be available by appointment only.
We will reopen our lobbies to customers as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you at our drive-up windows and strongly encourage you to use our electronic banking services that make banking from home easy and convenient.
Please continue to visit this page for the most up-to-date information on our response.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work with our government and local business community to do our part to slow the spread of this virus. We are prepared to operate during this state of emergency:
- Should it be necessary, we have plans in place that will allow us to operate our bank from remote locations.
- We have actively partnered with our most critical vendors to review their contingency plans. We are confident they are ready to operate through just about any potential scenario.

Ways to Protect Yourself from Fraud.
Regrettably, periods of uncertainty are often accompanied by fraud-related attempts. The Coronavirus situation is no exception. Scammers have been setting up fraudulent websites to sell virus-related products and using emails and social media in attempts to steal your personal and financial information. The Federal Trade Commission offers these tips to protect yourself:
- Never click on links from institutions unfamiliar to you as doing so could result in having malicious software downloaded onto your computer or device.
- Ensure you have up-to-date security software and the latest updates downloaded on your computer or device.
- Be on the alert for false emails from what appears to be the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Instead, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official website as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) website.
- Ignore ads and online offers promoting vaccines, preventions, treatment, or cure claims for the Coronavirus.
