HomeTrust Bank Committed to Serving Local Communities Following Hurricane Helene
HomeTrust Bank has reaffirmed its commitment to serving local communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. While the full impact of the hurricane, including catastrophic rain and flooding, is still being assessed, the bank is prepared to support affected employees and customers. C. Hunter Westbrook, President & CEO, emphasized the bank's dedication to providing necessary banking support for homes, businesses, and communities.

HomeTrust Bank remained functionally operational throughout the storm, with electronic banking services and online operations available. Currently, all but three of their 36 locations have at least drive-thru banking available. Due to ongoing utility and communication issues, particularly in Western North Carolina, customers are advised to check the bank's website for the most recent updates and service availabilities.

HomeTrust Bank는 허리케인 헬렌 이후 지역 사회를 지원하겠다는 의지를 다시 확인했습니다. 허리케인으로 인한 재앙적인 비와 홍수의 전체 영향이 아직 평가되고 있는 가운데, 은행은 영향을 받은 직원과 고객을 지원할 준비가 되어 있습니다. C. Hunter Westbrook 대통령 겸 CEO는 주택, 사업체 및 지역 사회에 필요한 은행 지원을 제공하겠다는 은행의 헌신을 강조했습니다.
은행은 모든 직원의 안전을 확인하고 자신의 은행 위치를 평가하여 최소한의 피해만 있음을 알렸습니다. HomeTrust Bank는 폭풍 동안 기능적으로 운영되었으며 전자 뱅킹 서비스와 온라인 운영이 가능했습니다. 현재 36개 지점 중 3개를 제외한 모든 지점에서 최소한의 드라이브 스루 뱅킹 서비스가 가능합니다. 특히 북부 캘리포니아의 서부 지역에서는 지속적인 공공 서비스와 통신 문제로 인해 고객이 은행 웹사이트를 확인하여 최신 업데이트 및 서비스 가능성을 확인해야 합니다.
