Working to Keep You Safe and Secure as We Expand our Branch Hours

The past several months have been a time of increased concern as we have all navigated unchartered challenges due to COVID-19.

Since the start of the pandemic, we have been diligently planning new enhancements to our branches that provide greater protection and convenience to our members during this difficult time.

Our first priority remains the health and safety of our employees and members, with particular emphasis on observing safety and social distancing guidelines within our branch facilities.

In recognition of this, we are pleased to share the following enhancements effective on June 1st:

Health & Safety Precautions

•

Face masks will continue to be required for all staff and members visiting our branches.

•

Lobby desks and teller stations have been equipped with Plexiglas shields for added protection to both staff and members conducting transactions.

•

Capacity within our branch lobbies will be limited to ensure that appropriate social distancing is observed. Security staff will be monitoring the number of members entering the branch to ensure the reduced capacity limits are not exceeded and to maintain an orderly flow of individuals in and out of the branch.

•

We kindly request you limit any nonessential, additional guests during your visit, as this may cause delays for other members awaiting service.

•

Floor markers have been placed in all branches to ensure proper social distancing guidelines are followed when awaiting service.

•

To safeguard the health and safety of our members, lobby restrooms and water fountains will not be available for public use.

Coming Soon! New Lobby Coin Machines
As a free benefit to all EdFed members, new coin machines will soon be available at all branch locations to provide a sanitary way for members to deposit loose coin. Members may deposit their coin total into their account(s) or redeem the dollar amount for electronic gift cards from major retailers and restaurants. More information will be released in the coming weeks about this new service!

Please continue to visit our website and social media pages for additional updates as we work to fully resume normal branch operations over the coming weeks.
