COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions

Throughout the pandemic, our customers’ and employees’ health and safety have remained our top priority. WSB is implementing the MA Government's Mandatory Safety Standards and additional procedures to ensure everyone's health and safety. We appreciate your support during these challenging times and in helping protect fellow WSB customers and our staff.

Below are some helpful FAQs for you to reference as we continue to support you.

Branch Appointments for Non-Teller Services

Why is WSB requesting appointments for non-teller services?

1. Reduce indoor face-to-face time: We seek to keep our staff and our customers as safe as possible during COVID. With an appointment, our staff can identify needs and requirements in advance and prepare documents prior to the appointment. These steps often substantially reduce the time you will spend face-to-face, indoors with our staff. This helps protect you and our staff.
2. Less wait and fewer crowds to meet capacity guidance: By requesting an appointment for non-teller services, we are able to spread services throughout the day and reduce occurrences of multiple parties waiting in the lobbies at the same time. This assists WSB in meeting Commonwealth of MA capacity guidelines during COVID and reduces prolonged close contact amongst our customers and our staff.
