Several Bank of America branches are temporarily closed across New Hampshire as result of the pandemic, according to the bank.
Of approximately 20 full-service branches in the state, seven are closed, according to the bank’s website. The locations include Derry, Hampton, Londonderry, Nashua, Portsmouth and two locations in Manchester.
The bank says the health and safety of its employees and customers is its No. 1 priority.
“We continue to take several steps to support our clients and employees during the health crisis, including some temporary financial center closures. We monitor environmental conditions and implement safeguards so that we can reopen financial centers as soon as it is safe to do so,” a company statement reads.
Temporary Bank of America closings have been reported across the country.
The closures have occurred in areas where foot traffic has been reduced, staffing is insufficient and at smaller locations where the space is too tight for proper social distancing during the pandemic, according to the statement.
“When a center closes, we work to reopen it as soon as possible,” the statement reads. “Clients always have the ability to manage many of their financial needs through our ATM network, which will remain available, as well as through our Mobile Banking and online at bankofamerica.com. We appreciate our clients’ understanding and flexibility during these unprecedented times.”
The website says “some locations may remain closed for an extended period of time.”
Customers can access safe deposit boxes by appointment during regular business hours, according to the website.
