Banks make COVID-19 changes
Posted
Fountain Hills banks are taking measures to keep customers and staffs safe during the coronavirus crisis.
All are cleaning surfaces and public areas carefully at least twice a day. Staff members are instructed to keep a safe distance from each other and customers. While some bank lobbies remain open during business hours, two are operating as a drive-through only.
The UMB branch, located at 13404 N. La Montana Dr., is serving customers at the drive-through only. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and until 5:30 p.m. Friday.
Washington Federal, 16600 E. Avenue of the Fountains, has restricted access to its branch lobby. The local branch is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday until 6 p.m.
Chase Bank, 16744 E. Avenue of the Fountains, has shortened hours, but the lobby remains open, along with the drive-through. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
Bank of America, 16925 E. Shea Blvd., is changing its weekday hours to 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday hours remain 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
MidFirst Bank also has regular hours from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
US Bank, located inside Safeway at 13733 N. Fountain Hills Blvd., is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

All local branch spokespeople said things are subject to change and customers should call the bank to ensure they are open.
