In the last few weeks, we in the United States have begun to feel the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus in a meaningful way. Like you, SVB Private is actively monitoring the situation, and we are taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety of our clients and employees, as well as our ability to deliver our service without disruption.
With the safety of our clients and employees of paramount importance, we have taken the following precautions to mitigate the potential spread of the virus:
- All non-critical travel has been suspended.
- Associates who are feeling sick have been asked to stay home. We are allowing for greater flexibility in our PTO policies to ensure those who should stay home do.
We have taken the following steps to ensure the continuity of our business operations:
- SVB Private has a comprehensive business continuity program that includes resiliency plans for many different types of business interruptions, including pandemic events. We are equipped with the technology and processes to continue operations with minimal interruption.
- Associates have the appropriate systems access and tools to work remotely or from a dedicated contingency site.
- We are working with our vendors to verify their business continuity plans.
- Please check the SVB Private website for the latest hours and operating status of our retail locations and offices.
