Can I get an extension on my loan payment?
  • If you are unable to make your scheduled loan payment due the COVID-19 pandemic and require an extension, please call us at (774) 888-6100.
Will the branches accept coins through the drive-up window?
  • Our branch drive-ups are not accepting loose coins. If you need to deposit coins you will need to do so using wrappers which can be picked up at the drive-up window. All coin wrappers must have the customer's name and account number written on them, as the coins will be counted and verified after the deposit is made. Please note that only 2 rolls of coins can be sent through the drive-up tube. If you have more than two rolls, you will need to use the drive-up drawer (if the branch has one), or you will need to bring your coin rolls inside the lobby.
What are some ways I can deposit a check without visiting a branch?
  • ATM - You can deposit a check at any one of our ATMs. Please visit our Locations page to find a BankFive branch near you (please note that our Cranston, Woburn and Wrentham Lending Offices do not have ATMs).
  • Mobile Deposit - Use the BankFive mobile app to deposit your checks by snapping a photo and following the in-app instructions.
  • By Mail - You can make a deposit by mail by sending us your check. Sign the check and write “For Deposit Only” on the back of the check with your account number below your signature. Mail to: BankFive, 79 North Main Street, Fall River, MA 02720.
