Coronavirus (Covid-19) FAQs

Below are the most frequently asked questions for customers impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Are your branch lobbies open?

Yes. At StonehamBank, we believe it is our role and responsibility as a community bank during this time to continue to prioritize, the health and well-being of our community, customers, and team members. Starting November 30th, branch lobbies will have reduced hours at both locations.

FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ALL, HERE ARE THE SAFETY GUIDELINES WE’RE FOLLOWING INSIDE OUR BRANCHES. 

  • Please practice social distancing, by staying at least six feet apart from others in the branch lobby and when waiting outside.
  • We require you to wear a face-covering that must cover your mouth and nose* while in our branch – we’ll be wearing ours too! For customers who cannot wear a mask, please continue to bank with us through our drive-thru locations during the available drive-thru hours, ATMs, Face2Face Video Banking, Customer Contact Center and Online Banking.
  • Prior to the start of your transaction, you will be asked questions regarding personal identification and account confirmation. This will help us ensure your financial safety and protect your accounts. (Don’t forget to bring your ID!)
  • We will be limiting the number of customers allowed inside the lobby at any one time until further notice. Please plan on longer wait times for the foreseeable future.

To protect other customers and our team, we ask that you stay home if you are exhibiting any COVID-related symptoms or have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days. 

To further ensure your peace of mind, you may notice several safety enhancements have been made to our lobbies.

  • Directional signage 
  • Floor decals to help maintain social distancing 
  • Plexiglass shields in offices
