Bank of the Rockies stands ready to assist anyone affected by the shutdown. If
you are a federal employee, we are here to help.

 

  • We recognize and appreciate that some of our customers may be concerned about
    how a federal government shutdown could affect things such as paychecks for
    federal employees and government contractors, federal benefits payments,
    National Flood Insurance Program payments and other government programs. We
    stand ready to work with and support our customers who may be facing any
    hardships due to the current circumstances.
  • We encourage impacted customers, including federal employees and others in
    need to reach out to us as soon as possible to discuss their personal situation and
    see what help may be available.
  • Our bank will continue to support our customers through major challenges such
    as this shutdown just as we did during the pandemic and previous interruptions in
    government operations.

A government shutdown will have no direct impact on our bank’s operations. We
are open for business and fully functioning.

 

  • This is an ongoing issue over spending within the federal government that does
    not directly affect our institution.
  • Our bank and the broader banking sector remains strong, and your FDIC-insured
    deposits are still fully protected and readily available. Rest assured that the
    banking system is safe and your deposits will be there when you need them.
  • While the Bank is not directly affected by the shutdown, the Small Business
    Administration, Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Agriculture
    and other agencies with lending programs funded by the federal government could
    be impacted. That means loans requiring those offices’ approval may not be
    processed while the shutdown is in effect.
  • While the National Flood Insurance Program is a federal program that relies on
    congressional authorization, loans that require flood insurance can still close
    during a lapse in the NFIP, either by following certain NFIP and regulatory
    guidelines (FDIC, OCC, and FRB) and ensuring that a system is in place to obtain
    NFIP policies as soon as the program is reauthorized, or by obtaining private flood
    insurance. NFIP payments could still be delayed by a shutdown.
    We will work with our customers to make the shutdown as seamless as possible.
    Contact any of our offices today.
