US banks have started to adjust bank hours, waiving fees and offering payment extensions to help customers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. 

As such, Wells Fargo is temporarily closing some branches, adjusting operating hours of other branches, and switching over to drive up service instead of lobby service at many branches. The bank has halted all residential foreclosure sales, evictions, and involuntary auto repossessions. Customers can get fee waivers, payment deferrals, and other assistance for credit card, auto, mortgage, and other customers.

Similarly, Santander US has converted some of its branches to limited service locations, offering check cashing, deposits, withdrawals, money orders, and cashier’s checks from lobby or drive-thru locations, and providing investment, mortgage, and business specialists over the phone or by appointment. Moreover, the bank is taking several steps to help customers, including the following:
  • Extended ATM and credit card limit increases;
  • Waiving fees for early CD withdrawal and outgoing wire fees;
  • Temporary payment suspension and refunding overdraft and late payment fees;
  • Suspending mortgage and home equity line of credit foreclosures.
