"This, I believe is our industry's finest hour. These are the days for which community banks and bankers are made. It is the hour when we rise to show that local support and solidarity are the only stopgaps against catastrophe, personal or pandemic. I have faith that as community banks step up to prove their unique necessity in this season, it will do more to promote the good of our industry than all the lobbying efforts in which we could ever engage." - Christopher Williston, Independent Community Bankers of Texas
The Safety And Soundness Of The Banking System During Covid19
Olympia, Washington – Community Bankers of Washington and President & Executive Director John Collins issued the following statement regarding the safety and soundness of the banking system during the COVID-10 pandemic.
“CBW, along with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), wants to remind and reassure the public that the safest place for their money is in a federally insured bank, which all Washington community banks are. Since 1933, no depositor has lost any FDIC-insured funds. The safety and soundness of the entire banking system is, and will remain, secure and unchanged.
“If a bank has announced limited branch hours or specific lobby closures, it is in preparation to remain open and ready to meet all customers’ financial needs throughout this pandemic—however long it may last. Washington community banks are committed to protecting the health and safety of both customers and employees. Full banking services can be accessed through other locations (if a specific branch is closed) or by utilizing technology, drive-through services and/or person-to-person telephone interaction.
