We are committed to being here for our members. Our safety protocols always follow the current government requirements. This page is updated whenever changes are made.
We are enforcing our mandatory masks requirement with a "no mask, no entry" policy to protect and minimize the impact to our members and employees, their families, and the valley community as a whole. Your support and understanding is sincerely requested and greatly appreciated!
If you are unable or unwilling to wear a mask, we have many convenient tools for you to do your banking without visiting us. We would be happy to introduce you to these options. Call your branch or make an appointment today to speak with one of our helpful staff members.
For any general questions, or for tutorials on how to use self-serve banking services, please chat with our new chat bot, Val. She is always available to assist you! You can find her now in the lower right corner of every page of our site.
Self-serve banking optionsWe continue to ask you to please use our ATMs, online banking, mobile app, and telelphone banking services whenever possible, rather than visit our branches. Please contact your branch or book an appointment now for assistance or to be set up for access to any of these safe and convenient self-serve options.
