Coronavirus Update

We're Here to Help

At Nassau Financial, the safety of our Team Members, Members and our Community is a primary concern for us. We have been closely monitoring the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and are committed to being responsive to how this is impacting our Community.


There are a number of measures we have been taking to ensure we manage to safely get through this situation while continuing to serve our Members effectively. Our Team Members are aware of the safety measures provided by the World Health Organization, and we are taking additional precautions to maintain a safe environment at all of our locations. 

Because we are maintaining the NY State required maximum capacity of 50% or less, it is important to stagger appointments with our Representatives so that no more than 10 people are in the branch at a time, including our Team Members. Use this link to book a particular time and date at one of our locations from the comfort of your home instead of signing up and waiting at the branch. Available time slots will appear on the form so you will be able to choose the time that works best for you. Please keep in mind that appointments will run on time, and time slots will not be held if you are more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, out of courtesy for other Members who are waiting to see our Representatives.


The work being done by our Team Members to service our Members during this pandemic is something we are truly proud of. We humbly ask for your patience as we navigate through the new challenges that arise as a result of the Coronavirus disease. 

Current Updates:

What to expect when visiting our branches

Our commitment to our Members and Team Members is stronger than ever, so we are following governmental guidelines along with some of our own to keep everybody safe and socially distant while providing the best Member Service possible. This requires everyone’s participation and we ask you to do your part by:

  • Wearing a mask at all times
  • Reading our entry sign and attesting that you are not affected by or exposed to COVID-19 through family, friends, or travelling to a hot-spot within the past 14 days
  • Setting an appointment either at the door or online, and providing your name, email address, and cell phone number
  • Waiting outside or in your car until we call or text you to come inside for your appointment
  • Keeping socially distant by staying 6-feet apart from others, using floor markers as your guide
  • Use hand sanitizer before and after conducting transactions

Our Team Members are required to follow these guidelines when they are in the branch as well. We are serious about keeping everyone safe, so service may be denied until the requirements are followed.
