Wheatland Bank: Your deposits are safe

ODESSA — Wheat-land Bank is reassuring depositors that their money is safe and readily available during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.

Funds are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., bank officials said last week.

“Wheatland Bank has been serving the communities of Eastern Washington for the past 40 years, and managed through the turbulent times of the Great Recession, without ever losing its profitability, sound financial position or its 5-Star Superior Rating,” CEO Susan M. Horton said.

“Due to the advance preparations in establishing Wheatland’s Pandemic Preparedness Plan, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the continued strength and stability of the bank, we are very well positioned to work with our customers and communities.”
