Reopening Lobbies with Care

by Enbright Credit Union | May 12, 2020 | Community

Reopening Our Lobbies with Care

Beginning Monday, May 18, Enbright Credit Union will begin opening its lobbies on a staggered schedule.

Distancing rules, facecoverings, and temperature checks will be employed. Here’s the plan…

Indian Lake Branch — Beginning Monday, May 18, the lobby will be open regular business hours.

Downtown NES Branch — The lobby will be open regular business hours starting Tuesday, May 26. Enbright is closed Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day.

Donelson Branch — The lobby will remain closed until tornado repairs can be completed, but the drive-up teller will remain open to assist members.

Rules for Entering Lobby
Each branch will have a limit (posted on the door) for the number of persons allowed inside the building. Once the limit is reached inside the branch, members will be asked to wait outside; as one person leaves the branch, another may enter. Members must wear face coverings to enter; masks are not provided. An employee will be posted at the branch entrance to take temperatures and ask a few questions. Members will be asked to remove their face coverings briefly, for identification, before entering the lobby.

If the transaction can be completed at the drive-up, please use that service instead. And, as always, Online Banking and Mobile Banking are available to you.

It is our desire to protect the safety and health of all members and employees. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we go through this situation together.

Be well, and stay safe.

Credit Union Member Waiting for New Kidney

by Enbright Credit Union | Feb 7, 2018 | Community

Emmanuel Yorke is one of those people who brightens the days for our Donelson Branch staff at Enbright. After moving to the United States from South Africa, he worked for Nashville Electric Service for 14 years. When surprised with sudden health issues with his kidneys, Emmanuel’s health declined quickly and, a year later, he found himself unable to work. He loved his work at NES, but disability was inevitable. In need of a kidney transplant, Emmanuel has spent four years on the transplant list hoping for a donor. A living kidney donor could make a big difference in the life of someone like Emmanuel.
