Community First continues to monitor the effects of the Coronavirus situation. Be assured we are prepared and positioned extremely well for the long-term impacts of this pandemic.

We have detailed plans in place to ensure essential operations continue and to help minimize disruptions in service. As a responsible community partner, we want to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, we have decided to transition our branch lobby services to drive-thru only beginning Monday, March 23. Branches with no drive-thru (Mandarin, Riverside, and UNF) will be completely closed with no services available for the time being. The Yulee branch lobby will remain open on a limited basis to serve the residents of Nassau County. To ensure sufficient social distancing we will limit the number of members to five (5) in the branch at once. We will reopen our branch lobbies as soon as the situation allows.

• Safe Deposits - Members who require access to their safe deposit box can schedule an appointment via phone,
• Loan Documents - Documents will be signed online through DocuSign, and branch appointments will be scheduled only for those loans and new accounts that require in-person signing.
• New Loans and Accounts - For a new loan or other account, you can apply online on our website at your convenience.

Our primary concern is the safety and health of our members and employees. Consistent with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, we have increased the disinfecting of our branch and office locations, stocked hand sanitizers, and reinforced even more diligent safe and healthy habits among our team members. We are continuing our health and safety protocols, including sanitizing drive-thru equipment after transactions.

Member Service Expectations

Based on world events, it may be an extended period before we're able to resume "business as normal" and we ask for your patience in the coming weeks as we anticipate higher call volumes and longer wait times.

We have your back!

We offer many convenient service channels such as online banking, ATMs, and telephone banking, which do not require a branch visit. Please limit physical contact and do not visit a branch if you are ill, have been exposed to the virus, or have recently traveled outside of the country.

• For member service inquiries, we encourage you to use our secure message feature within Online Banking. You may also call the Member Experience Center.
• To open a new account or apply for a new loan, apply online or call our Member Experience Center.
• Use our Online and Mobile banking, free online loan payment tool, or Info 24 to check balances, transfer funds, and pay your loans and bills online.
• Deposit checks from your phone using mobile deposit on our mobile app.

If you have been impacted by COVID-19 and need our support, we are here to help. Please contact our Member Experience Center to discuss what assistance may be available to you.
