The health and well-being of you, our customers and of our colleagues is our top priority. Changes in the working time of some locations gives us opportunity to assure additional cleaning and disinfection is regularly performed in the locations. In addition we have split the teams in such a way that allows us to service you, while at the same time we contribute to the limitation of the spread of COVID-19.

If a branch needs to be closed for full disinfection, the clients might be temporarily advised to use another nearby location.

To ensure our services and operations remain available as usual without disruption we have put in place precautionary measures at our offices and branches. Our policies and procedures are in line with the heath authorities recommendations and the guidance provided by the World Health Organization.

  • All frontline employees at the branches are provided with protective masks, gloves and disinfectants and instructions for their proper use;

What measures would you take if an employee is COVID-19 positive?

 

We have a very clear protocol in this case, which aims to protect the health of clients and employees and to limit the spread of the virus. With a positive COVID-19 test, we strictly follow the recommendations of the health authorities and the colleague would be quarantined in accordance with the requirements of the Regional Health Inspectorates. As a precautionary measure, the location in which he has worked is subject to immediate closure, cleaning and complete disinfection. In the case of colleague, working in a branch, the customers of that branch may be temporarily directed to another nearby location. The Bank is committed to recommend immediate quarantine to all customers or employees with whom the colleague has had direct contact. The branch can be reopened only after complete disinfection and with a team that has not been in direct contact with the positive colleague.. As a precaution against the virus, the bank employees wear masks and gloves, use disinfectants, observe the recommended distance, etc.

If we were notified that a person who tested positive for COVID-19 had visited our office or branch, we would apply all the measures described above as if our employee became ill.
