DANVILLE – Danville State Savings Bank President Joel Prottsman said the Danville location has started a remodel of the bank.

The Danville bank at 109 N. Main St. was originally built in the 1970s and will undergo a major interior renovation that will incorporate new lobby and office facilities.

“Due to the inherent risks with demolition and construction, our lobby at the Danville location will be closed to the public for approximately 60 days,” said Prottsman. “The drive-thru in Danville will be open its regular hours for all banking needs and if a customer needs to see a loan officer or conduct other banking business, they can always call and schedule an appointment.”

Prottsman said the bank offers online services and a mobile app which includes a special feature that allows users to upload pictures of checks to be cashed and other convenient features.

“We feel this remodel goes hand-in-hand with our new online banking and other services we’ve been adding,” Prottsman added.

However, they will still offer the hometown experience that has been a model of the bank for 120 years. Customers of the bank can call in with their questions will get to talk with a person, a person who has connections to the community.

“The financial industry is changing, we feel like we can be the one that survives the changes,” said Prottsman in an interview with The Hawk Eye earlier this year.

The lobby at the DSSB location in New London will retain regular business hours.
