Our 2021 pandemic response
You can count on our support
These times, like no other we have experienced in our lifetimes, have taken a toll on all of us. We all feel pressure because there is still uncertainty in the world. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has upended our plans — financial and otherwise — but we’re in this together.
Over the past several months, you’ve probably been spending or saving differently. You may have questions, face financial hardships or need information quickly. We understand and can help.
Get in touch with your financial professional
We encourage you to get in touch with your financial professional, who can help navigate the current environment while maintaining focus on your long-term goals. If you’re coping with financial stress, ask them for guidance on what actions you should consider. You can find your financial professional’s contact information on your account statements or your online account portfolio page.
Seek support from our service centers and website
From the start of the pandemic to today, we have worked to minimize business disruptions and kept our service centers open. We’ve adapted and continue to be available, even as our associates face many of the same life challenges that you do.
Despite our very best efforts, there may be times when there’s an increase in calls, and you may experience longer than average wait times when contacting our service centers. We encourage you to take advantage of the online resources and self-service options on our website. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
