Has The Bank Failed?

Went to the Bayside, NY branch of Wilshire State Bank on Sat. 10/9.  They were closed.  Called the Flushing, NY branch.  No one answered.  No signs on door giving any reason why Bayside branch was closed.  I know some branches close for Columbus Day, but that is Monday, and no sign for that either. I am calling California branches later to see if they are open.  Anybody know anything?  Hope they didn't fail/go out of business.

I just called a California branch of Wilshire Branch after 9 AM Pacific time, and there was no answer.  So it seems that no branches in any state that are usually open on Saturdays are open.  There is no indication on phone that bank is closed for Columbus Day holiday.....or for any other reason.  If they close for a holiday, they should at least have a message on their telephone system or website....but nothing is listed anywhere.  If they are indeed closed for a holiday, they have done a poor job in letting people know, and getting them upset for no reason.  I have a CD maturing and regardless of reason for closing, will not do business with them in the future.

Just hope they haven't "gone under."

To CTM:

I don't have a problem with a bank being closed for holiday...whether it's Sat only, Sat and Monday....or whatever they choose.  That's their right to do so.  But if that is why they were closed, they could have at least put notices up somewhere..either at the branch, online, or as part of the telephone message.  Other places put notices up ahead of time when they are going to be closed, so this really surprised me.

You should have seen the number of people who came to the bank and were upset at not knowing the reason for the bank being closed.

All I am saying is...give a reason for the bank being closed.

Went to bank today to redeeem CD and it was open (real glad about that).  I asked why they didn't put notice on bank about why they were closed Sat, and rep said she didn't think they had to.

Well at least Wilshire is stil solvent.
