Attica, NY – Five Star Bank's branch in Attica, New York is undergoing a sudden, temporary closure, leaving residents scrambling for immediate banking solutions.
The unexpected shutdown, announced late yesterday, has ignited concerns among local customers who rely on the branch for their daily financial needs.
Urgent Closure: What We Know
Five Star Bank confirmed the closure of the Attica branch located at 6 Market Street effective immediately.
According to a statement released by Five Star Bank spokesperson, Shelly Brauen, the closure is due to "unforeseen circumstances" that impact the branch's operational capacity.
The statement offers no specific details regarding the nature of these circumstances.
Impact on Customers
The sudden closure has left many Attica residents without access to in-person banking services.
Customers are expressing frustration over the lack of clear communication and the disruption to their financial routines.
One local business owner, Robert Miller, stated, "This is a huge inconvenience. I rely on that branch for daily deposits and cash management."
Alternative Banking Options
Five Star Bank is directing Attica customers to its nearest branch located in Warsaw, approximately 15 miles away.
The bank also encourages customers to utilize online and mobile banking platforms for routine transactions.
ATM access is still available at the Attica location for withdrawals, but deposits and other services are suspended.
Details of the Closure
The timeline for reopening the Attica branch remains uncertain.
Five Star Bank's statement indicates that they are "working diligently" to resolve the issues causing the closure.
However, no estimated date for resumption of services has been provided.
Local officials have reached out to Five Star Bank for further clarification and to advocate for the needs of Attica residents.
Mayor Nathan Nevinger said, "We are concerned about the impact of this closure on our community and are urging the bank to expedite the reopening process."
He added that they are actively seeking more information from the bank to properly address the situation.
Concerns and Questions
The lack of transparency surrounding the "unforeseen circumstances" is fueling speculation among residents.
Some are concerned about potential security issues, while others fear a permanent closure of the branch.
Five Star Bank has not addressed these specific concerns in its public statements.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has been notified of the closure.
Although no direct intervention is planned at this time, the FDIC is monitoring the situation to ensure depositor protection.
