North Channel Bank Informs on Prevention Measures Concerning the COVID-19 Pandemic

In view of the developments relating to the coronavirus, we would like to inform you about our business activities and the measures we take to ensure the continuity of our services to you.

Our office has robust IT systems and we have implemented a work plan that allows us to provide our services outside our physical offices without significant disruption. In any case, the well-being of all those with whom we are in daily contact is of the utmost importance to us. We therefore hold meetings by telephone or video conference whenever possible, and have also established extensive travel and other restrictions. In particular, as a purely precautionary measure, we are disentangling our activities in order to counteract possible cross-office chains of infection by reducing personal contacts between our employees to a minimum until further notice. However, you can reach us by e-mail and by telephone, whether in our offices in Mainz or at the respective home offices.

With these preventive measures, we hope to make our contribution in dealing with the coronavirus and thank you for your understanding and support!
