Due to the increased spread of COVID-19 in our communities, we will temporarily be switching our lobbies to an "appointment-only" basis at all Coulee Bank locations effective Monday, November 16. All drive-ups of Coulee Bank will remain open during normal banking hours.
If you need to make an appointment, simply call or email your banker and let them know when you will be arriving. We ask that if you are displaying symptoms or are feeling ill that you do not visit any of our branches and simply conduct your business via email or phone.
The following will be handled by appointment only: business deposits that cannot be done via the drive-up or night drop (example: boxes of coin); foreign currency exchange; loan meetings/closings; new accounts that cannot be done via online account opening; account changes that cannot be done via the phone or email; safe deposit access and other case-by-case needs.
