The Andrew Johnson Highway location will operate drive-thru hours Saturday 9:00 AM – 12:00 noon. Customers can make an appointment to visit office lobbies.

“The health and well-being of our customers and team members is our top priority,” said Jerome Julian, Apex Bank’s East Tennessee Community President. “We are following government recommendations and acting in accordance with health guidance from the CDC, WHO, and other authorities regarding the spread of the novel Coronavirus.”
