HomeTrust Bank Committed to Serving Local Communities Following Hurricane Helene
October 03 2024 - 4:18PM
While the full impact of Hurricane Helene and its aftermath,
including catastrophic rain and flooding, is still unknown, relief
efforts continue, and HomeTrust Bank is committed and prepared to
serve its employees and customers who were affected.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the many
families and businesses impacted by the devastating flooding,” said
C. Hunter Westbrook, President & Chief Executive Officer. “We
want to assure everyone affected of our firm commitment to work
with you to provide the banking support needed for your home, your
business and our great communities. In addition, the teamwork and
dedication of our employees has been tremendous as they restored
bank operations while tending to their personal and familial
responsibilities. We are also humbled by the support, supplies and
outreach from other banks throughout the Southeast.”
As we emerge from the devastation our
communities have suffered, our top priority is the safety of our
customers and our team members. We have now communicated with and
confirmed the safety of all our employees, as well as assessed all
our banking locations noting only minimal damage from the storm. We
remained functionally operational throughout the storm, including
electronic banking services and online operations, and currently
all but three of our 36 locations have at least drive-thru banking
available. With utilities and communications still impaired and
unstable, particularly in our home base of Western North Carolina,
please refer to our website at www.htb.com/hurricane-helene for the
most recent updates and service availabilities.
