Y-12 Federal Credit Union’s Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Effective July 3rd, a regulation from the Knox County Board of Health requires masks to be worn in all public buildings in Knox County.  
 
As a result, face masks are now required in our Knox County branches.  A disposable mask will be provided if you do not have one.  If you prefer not to wear a mask, we encourage you to use our drive-thru personal tellers or our remote services. 
 
Although masks are not required by regulations in other counties, our employees will wear them and we strongly encourage members to do so.  Cases continue to rise in our area, and we must all do our part to help prevent the spread of illness.  We will also continue to follow our approved social distancing guidelines:
 

• Branch occupancy is limited based on the size of the branch
• Floor decals are in place to mark the appropriate place to stand for six-foot social distancing
• Coffee areas and public restrooms are closed
• Hand sanitizer is available for members and staff

 
We appreciate your patience and support as we work to serve our members in these unique circumstances. 

If you or your family are impacted by circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Y-12 FCU can help. We want you to know we’re here for you.

A number of safety measures are in place to protect the health and safety of members and employees, including germ guards, increased sanitation and social distancing guidelines, which consist of:

• Occupancy is limited based on social distancing placeholders available.
• Floor decals are in place to mark the appropriate place to stand for six-foot social distancing. Please wait until a spot is available to enter the branch.
• If you have to wait outside, please practice social distancing by standing in the designated spots.
• While we love seeing our members, we encourage you to continue utilizing our remote services for transactions when possible.
