The Association of Guernsey Banks, together
with its counterparts in Jersey and the Isle of Man, have written
to their respective island communities to outline the banking
sector's continued commitment to customers.
All banks have most staff working from home with just a few
essential staff in branches and offices, and have encouraged
customers to use online and mobile services and avoid transactions
in branches where possible.
"Many people and businesses are naturally worried about
their finances right now. Our priorities are therefore to help our
customers who are experiencing difficulties whilst also protecting
both customers and our teams in line with government and health
professionals' advice," the banks say in an open
letter.
