Bank opening hours from 22 to 28 June: Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo
Despite the associated risks during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, business have been reopening and major banks have adjusted their timetables.
The United States have allowed businesses to reopen in a bid to jump start the struggling economy that's been battered by the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns. Although many enterprises were forced to close their doors, banks, as essential businesses, were kept open, sometimes with limited hours, due to their vital role in the economy.
Now, after having more time to adapt, banks are altering their business hours to try to suit their individual clients and the major players have been working directly with state governors to modify their rules on controlling the amount of people that work in each branch how many people are allowed to come in. There has also been a big push for mobile and online services to be taken advantage of. Let's consider a few of the banks.
Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo has remained open during the coronavirus pandemic but are 'cautiously adjusting' how they serve their customers safely. Many branches continue to expand their business hours to better assist you and the availability and hours of operation status can be accessed depending on where you live. There is also an option to meet with a banker by making an appointment and thus avoiding the need to wait in line.
Their advice is to use their remote service for 24/7 peace of mind calling it the 'fastest, most convenient access for many of your banking needs.'
