Scotiabank taking important steps to help customers, employees stay protected

Scotiabank is important steps to help you stay protected.

We continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely, and are following the latest guidance from health authorities to ensure that our practices are in line with the latest recommendations.

Our employees are kept informed of the latest precautionary measures to ensure that our workplaces, including our branches, remain safe for everyone.

We are conducting regular deep cleaning of our branches every business day, including sanitizing of all surfaces (door handles, ATM keypads and screens, pin pads, chair handles, desks, reception areas, teller wickets and washrooms), and hand sanitizer is available in-branch for use by both employees and customers.

In line with recommendations from the Ministry of Health, proper hygiene can help reduce the risk of infection or spreading of infection to others. We are prepared to do everything we can to ensure your banking experience continues uninterrupted. For our branches, as we observe the basics of social distancing, it is important to limit the number of persons in the banking hall at any point in time. We kindly ask customers for their patience and understanding in facilitating these measures.
