Ways to Safely Access Your Money During The COVID-19 Pandemic
Amid ongoing concerns about the Coronavirus COVID-19, there’s lots being communicated about the steps you can take to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. And at Fixedeposit, it is also our concern how this may affect your financial management routine. We’ve put together a list of ways you can still get your financial business done while lowering the risk of exposure to COVID-19.
Steps You Can Take
Use Mobile Deposit to deposit your checks through our mobile app. There’s no additional delay by depositing your checks with the mobile app versus over the counter. In most cases, your deposit will be applied to your account the same day.
Use a Smart ATM for everyday transactions. Avoid having to wait in line inside the lobby to do your transactions. You can still talk to a live person during regular business hours through every one of our Smart ATMs. You can deposit cash or checks, cash checks, make a payment, get account inquiries, and more.
Limit your contact with cash. Paper money can reportedly carry more germs than a household toilet. Whenever possible, use any other payment method to cash. If you need to pay another person, use services like Venmo, Paypal, or Popmoney.
Use a contactless payment method in stores. With services like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, or Google Pay, you won’t have to touch anything other than your phone. Adding a card to your mobile wallet is simple, and in most cases can be added and working instantly.
Apply for an account, loan, or mortgage online. During these times, it’s recommended to limit close contact with others. Therefore, stay home and apply for what you need in the comfort of your own home.
