Coronavirus guidance

All branches

We’ll keep our Facebook page and homepage updated with any changes to our branch services.

We’ve extended our daily cleaning procedures and are keeping our teams up-to-date with best practice hygiene measures.

In line with local governments’ advice, we’re following social distancing guidelines, where required, and ask our customers to play their part in keeping everyone safe.

Please don’t visit a branch if you have coronavirus symptoms, or if you’ve been advised to self-isolate.

Please only visit our branches if your banking need is essential, you can make the most of telephone, online and mobile banking to service many of your banking needs.

Customers visiting our Jersey branches are required to follow physical distancing measures by keeping at least 1 metres apart and to wear a face mask (visit gov.je for information). We can provide a face mask if you don't have one, but you may be refused service if you refuse to wear one, unless you have an age, health or disability reason.

For customers visiting our Isle of Man branches the wearing of a face mask is optional.

Contact centres

Our contact centre hours have also changed:

All lines are open from 07:00 to 21:00, except for lost and stolen cards, which is open 24/7.

We’re receiving far more calls than usual, so you may be waiting longer than we’d like. So that we can help those most in need, please only call us if your need is urgent.

Payment holidays

From 31 March 2021 new payment holidays are no longer available. 

If you have been financially affected by coronavirus and require support find out how we could support you.
