At Jackson Savings Bank, SSB, the health and safety of our employees, customers and community is our priority. That is why we are monitoring the current situation of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the impact it has on the communities we serve. We are committed to keeping you informed through a variety of channels, including social media, our website, and traditional news and radio, especially if the situation escalates.


Current Situation

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 is a highly contagious respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. COVID-19 continues to spread from person-to-person and is a public health concern. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) is monitoring the situation closely.
