Relief for Consumers Impacted by the Coronavirus

To support our customers impacted financially by the coronavirus, Bankers Trust is offering consumers and businesses with a Bankers Trust Visa credit card the option to skip up to two payments. This program applies to statements dated April 1-May 31, 2020.

You do not need to take action to participate. If your account meets the criteria required, you will automatically be enrolled and the payment due will reflect $0. There is no fee to participate, but finance charges will continue to accrue. Your credit report will not be affected if you choose to participate as you are not missing a payment.

If you have automatic payments set up:

  • If you have set up autopay for the minimum payment amount, the payment will not be made because the minimum due will reflect $0.
  • For customers with autopay for a fixed amount or statement balance, the autopay will run unless you request a cancellation of the monthly payment at least five days prior to your payment due date. You will need to do this each month you want to participate. To make the change, call Customer Service at 1-800-362-1688 or contact your banker.

You may choose not to participate. Simply make your desired payment amount even though the payment due reflects $0.

Branch Closures

Bankers Trust branches will handle banking transactions through the drive-up only until further notice. All Downtown Skywalk customers will be directed to the Downtown Branch drive-up at 717 7th Street. Our Phoenix main office is open by appointment only.

Customers may call their local branch or Customer Service to set an appointment to meet in person for transactions requiring the customer be present or to access their safe deposit box. We encourage customers to conduct their banking using Internet Banking or Mobile Banking (available for iOS and Android) to deposit checks, pay bills, transfer money and more.
