The Truist bank branch in Weatherly will close at noon on March 28, according to an official from the corporation.

The bank is in the process of notifying clients of the upcoming closure, said spokeswoman Kristen Williams.

Truist’s exit will leave the borough without a bank - but clients will be encouraged to visit other locations.

“They can continue to bank with us at the Hazleton branch located at 12 E. Broad St. in Hazleton, where they will receive the same attention and care,” Williams explained.

Williams noted that no employees will lose their jobs.

“All teammates will be transferred to other area branches to continue serving our clients,” she said.

Williams said that when it comes to closing branches, Truist considers a number of factors, including clients’ preferences and behavior patterns.

“Our branches will always be an important way for us to build relationships, meet clients’ needs and contribute to our communities,” she said.

Truist clients can access their accounts through branches and ATM networks, along with telephone banking and 24-hour delivery channels such as online and mobile banking, she added.

The bank was the former BB&T branch until BB&T merged with SunTrust Bank to become Truist Financial in December 2019.
