How Opportunity Bank is Responding to the Coronavirus 

Our branch lobbies are open and following COVID-19 safety protocols.

We are following county guidelines regarding mask wearing.  If your county does not require a mask, but you prefer our employee wear a mask during your interaction, please ask.  If your county requires mask wearing, or you prefer to wear a mask,  we request  that you temporarily remove your face covering and look into our cameras for identification and security when entering a branch.

For the health and safety of our clients and employees, we ask that visitors who enter a branch continue to practice social distancing. We have also installed plexiglass at teller lines and banker desks to help protect you, and hand sanitizer is available throughout the Bank.

We encourage the use of ATMs, online and mobile banking as much as possible.  If you haven’t enrolled in Online Banking or downloaded our Mobile Banking app, now is a great time to do so.  View locations and current hours. 

We’re here to help.

We understand this may continue to be a challenging time for you financially and we are here to help. We understand every customer and every financial situation is unique. Please reach out to your local banker to discuss assistance that may be available upon request, including:

 • Increasing your ATM withdrawal limit for access to your money
 • Temporarily suspending any monitoring or charging of fees for excessive withdrawals or transfers from savings and money market accounts
 • Increasing your Debit Card Point-of-Sale (POS) purchase limit so you can purchase the supplies you need
 • Waiving penalties for early Certificate of Deposit (CD) withdrawal if you need access to your savings
 • Loan payment accommodations if you are experiencing hardship
 • Temporarily increasing mobile deposit limits (from $1,500/check and $2,500/day to $3,500/check and $5,000/day) so it's easier to submit a deposit outside the bank
 • We are offering a hardship line of credit with no payments for 90 days to relieve some financial stress

Thank you for being an Opportunity Bank customer.

Economic Impact Payments

We encourage you to visit the IRS Economic Impact Payment page for the most up-to-date answers to your questions, including:

 •  Will I get a payment? How much will it be?
 •  When and how will I receive payment?
 •  Do I need to do anything to get a payment?

No action is needed by most people at this time.  Information on your eligibility or the status of your payment is available at IRS.gov.

There is no signup or enrollment for federal economic impact payments. Any email, phone call, text message, social media message, or mailed letter requesting personal or account information is a scam.

The IRS will not call, text you, email you or contact you on social media asking for personal or bank account information – even related to the economic impact payments. Also, watch out for emails with attachments or links claiming to have special information about economic impact payments or refunds.
