“Associated Bank has a long history of supporting our customers and communities in their times of need, and we are here to support them now and through the uncertainties yet to come,” said Philip B. Flynn, president and chief executive officer. “Our COVID-19 Relief Program is designed to help lessen financial strain on customers experiencing financial hardships as a result of illness or changes at work, and to provide small business owners assistance options to help preserve their future operations.”
Associated Bank said it is continuing to pay employees whose work is affected by changes to its services. The company said it has also expanded its leave policies to accommodate personal or family health circumstances caused by COVID-19.
The company suspended lobby access at its branch locations on March 17 and is encouraging customers to use online and mobile banking services. Its drive thru, ATM and night deposit box services remain available.
