VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The U.S. Bank Branch in Valley City is closing on April 16th, 2020.

An official with U.S. Bank said Valley City employees have been given the option of moving on to other branch offices within the company.

U.S Bank spokesman Evan Lapiska said, customers’ preferences and behaviors are changing, including a rapid migration toward digital and mobile banking platforms, and a desire for greater simplicity. As we evolve along with our customers, we are reevaluating our physical footprint, and in some instances, consolidating a limited number of branch locations in select markets. The same process will result in reinvestment in core retail banking markets in the form of new, relocated or redesigned physical locations by the end of 2020.

He said customers were notified in January that the Valley City branch would close on April 16, 2020. “We understand that the closure of any branch is a disruption for our customers and our employees and we are working to make the transition as smooth as possible for all involved. We look forward to continuing to serve our customers in the area through our mobile and digital banking platforms.”

Lapiska said the bank branches ATM will be left at the same location in Valley City for the near-term, but a more permanent solution, including a new location is still to be determined.
