A message about coronavirus from Minnco President Doug Hallstrom
Like many of you, we have followed the news on the coronavirus (COVID-19) since the outbreak began. It has now reached Minnesota, and while the number of infected Minnesotans is still low, all signs point to an extended period of time where the coronavirus will be part of our everyday lives. We want you to know that Minnco is actively monitoring the situation with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and implementing recommended precautions.
Our utmost priority is the safety and well-being of our members and staff. To keep our employees healthy and available to work, we have instructed staff to increase the frequency in which they clean and disinfect their work areas. We’ve reminded them of the importance of washing their hands and practicing healthy habits to prevent the spread of illnesses. We’ve provided additional hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes in our offices. Finally, employees who are sick will be instructed to stay home.
Likewise, if members have a fever or aren’t feeling well, we ask that they use the various channels Minnco offers in order to manage their accounts remotely. These include online and mobile banking, phone banking, remote deposit of checks, paying bills electronically, online chat, and access to over 50,000 fee-free ATMs. We encourage members to use these methods when possible. When it isn’t possible or convenient, please know that our doors are open for business as usual. We may forgo handshakes, but we’ll be here to continue to provide the dedicated service members have come to expect from Minnco for 85 years.
Finally, be cautious of potential fraudulent activity that may play on your emotions to gather your personal information.
Thank you for your continued trust in Minnco.
