With the recent “Safer At Home” order by Governor Evers, rest assured that Oak Bank is an essential business and we remain open and are here to help you.

Oak Bank is closely monitoring the evolving circumstances related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). We are following the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) and our Wisconsin Department of Health (Wisconsin DHS) and we are following their guidelines to aid in the prevention and spread of the virus.

While the actual impact of coronavirus is unknown at this time, we have proactively reviewed our Pandemic and Business Continuity Plans. While we respect the uncertainties inherent in the coronavirus outbreak, we believe we are well prepared to respond to the possible impact with a client-focused staff, business continuity plans and resources.

For the safety of our clients, team, and the community our lobby is temporarily closed while our drive-thru service will remain fully open. Our associates will continue to be available by phone, email, and drive-thru banking during normal business hours (Monday – Friday 8 am – 5 pm) to assist with wire transfers, ACH transactions, loan closings and other needs that you may have.

Because of the Coronavirus, many people are facing financial challenges, especially paying their mortgage. If you’re unable to make your mortgage payments, you could lose your home to foreclosure. Federal lenders and some private lenders are offering borrowers temporary help, like stopping or delaying foreclosure or modifying the mortgage. But these measures don’t apply to everyone. If you need help, research the options available to you for getting through these tough times.
