General Questions
We will be closing our current location on May 18, and will open in our new location Monday, June 1st, to allow our staff to make the move and get ready to serve our members.
A smart cashless branch focuses on consultations, financial advice, and digital services. It's designed to give you faster service and more personalized attention.
This change allows us to invest in enhanced security, and more personalized service, leaning into what our metrics tell us the Town of Banff is looking for in terms of service. As part of our move to our new location, we're modernizing our operations to enhance security, improve efficiency, and allow our team to focus more on personalized financial services like loans, financial planning, and account management. This approach is increasingly common in banking and allows us to invest more in the services our members value most.
We will be fully cashless on April 30, 2026.
