Our Bellows Falls office is open in its new location as of Monday, July 13, 2020! We are very happy to be able to welcome our members into our new office. The office comes with a River Valley Credit Union ATM located in the 1^st lane of the drive-up, a night deposit, drive-up teller access via tube, and the same great service from our Bellows Falls staff! The office is now open all day, without closing from 1:00pm-2:00pm, as it did in the prior location.

With the IRS beginning the distribution of the economic impact payments, also known as “stimulus checks”, it’s important to remember that the IRS will not call you to ask for any personal account information. The banking information they need to process these payments via direct deposit will be based off your most recent tax filing. Do not give out your banking or account information over the phone!

Answers to common questions in relation to these payments are available by visiting the IRS’ website at:
