At PennCrest BANK®, the safety, health and welfare of our employees and customers remain our top priority. We have implemented our Pandemic Preparedness Policy in an effort to protect all who trust PennCrest for their banking needs, or for their livelihood.

Beginning Monday, June 1^st, our lobbies will reopen for business. Customers will be required to wear masks, and to show a valid photo ID before admission. Social distancing will be practiced, and customers may be required to wait in a cue outside of the Bank premises prior to admittance. For your safety, and the safety of our employees, we encourage you to continue to conduct your transactions at our drive-thru. These revised operations will continue until authorities deem that it is safe to begin the resumption of normal activities.

As always, we encourage all customers to explore the convenience of our online and mobile banking tools; these services, as well as our ATM’s are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We urge you to remain diligent in protecting your identity and financial information. Never provide any financial or personal information to an unsolicited caller or email.

We are also taking additional steps to support and protect your financial well-being. To help those customers who are experiencing financial hardships due to illness, workplace closures, or a reduction in scheduled pay as a result of COVID-19, we have implemented programs designed to help. Please contact us at 1-888-716-7587 or your local branch office to arrange a discussion of the assistance program that is right for you.
