What should I do when I am not able to contact my bank by phone or internet?
During this time, banks may have to reduce staff or temporarily close branches. Additionally, they may experience heavy call volumes. Check your bank's website for contact information. You can write to your bank, or you may be able to communicate via a "chat" function, if available.
If you are still unable to contact your bank, file a complaint with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) using the Customer Complaint Form.
