1. Review your monthly payments: Take the time to go through all your monthly bills and check to see if any are set up for automatic payments.
- Through Avidia Bank: This could be from Avidia Bank’s Bill Pay system-which you can edit by signing into your online banking, going to your Bill Pay, and editing the individual payee details. (This can be done on your computer using online banking or your phone through the Avidia Mobile App.)
- Third Party Payments: If your automatic payments are set up directly through the company (like your credit card, car payment, utility bill etc.), log into your account with that company and edit or delete your automatic payments.
2. Reschedule Payments: If you delete your automatic payments you will still want to log into your Bill Pay or the third party provider directly to schedule your payments to ensure you keep your accounts up to date.
3. Be aware of your due dates for your payments: Some automatic payments process the night before depending upon how they are processed (Some payments through the Avidia Bill Pay system may still send a check for you), so waiting until the day the payment processes may be too late to edit or stop the payment.
4. Set up payment reminder and payment posted alerts, if possible: Many providers, including Avidia Bank, have email and/or text alerts that you can set up for payment reminders and when payments are posted. These alerts are a good tool to help keep track of your payments and to make sure your payments post timely.

SBA has a disaster assistance program in response to the Coronavirus (Please Note: The Program below is not sponsored by Avidia Bank)
- The U.S. Small Business Administration is offering designated states and territories low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Upon a request received from a state’s or territory’s Governor, SBA will issue under its own authority, as provided by the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act that was recently signed by the President, an Economic Injury Disaster Loan declaration.
- Any such Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance declaration issued by the SBA makes loans available to small businesses and private, non-profit organizations in designated areas of a state or territory to help alleviate economic injury caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
- SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance will coordinate with the state’s or territory’s Governor to submit the request for Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance.
- Once a declaration is made for designated areas within a state, the information on the application process for Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance will be made available to all affected communities as well as updated SBA’s website: SBA.gov/disaster.
- SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loans offer up to $2 million in assistance per small business and can provide vital economic support to small businesses to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing.
- These loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can’t be paid because of the disaster’s impact. The interest rate is 3.75% for small businesses without credit available elsewhere; businesses with credit available elsewhere are not eligible. The interest rate for non-profits is 2.75%.
- SBA offers loans with long-term repayments in order to keep payments affordable, up to a maximum of 30 years. Terms are determined on a case-by-case basis, based upon each borrower’s ability to repay.
- SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loans are just one piece of the expanded focus of the federal government’s coordinated response, and the SBA is strongly committed to providing the most effective and customer-focused response possible.
- For additional information, please contact the SBA disaster assistance customer service center. Call 1-800-659-2955 (TTY: 1-800-877-8339), e-mail [email protected] or visit SBA.gov/disaster for more information.

Your Money is Safe – at Avidia
Be assured, the deposits you have with Avidia are fully protected with FDIC/DIF insurance. In fact, this past week, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the independent agency that insures bank deposits, issued a statement reminding Americans that FDIC-insured banks remain “the safest place to keep their money.”
With FDIC insurance, your accounts are protected for up to $250,000 for each depositor and ownership category (joint account etc.). Amounts you have over that limit are protected by DIF insurance, which brings us to the next important question.
Avidia deposits that exceed the FDIC limits are covered by the Depositors Insurance Fund (DIF). The DIF is a private, industry-sponsored insurance fund that provides full insurance for your deposits (and accumulated interest) above FDIC limits at Massachusetts-chartered savings banks.
The DIF has been insuring deposits since 1932, and since that time no depositor has ever lost a penny in a bank insured by both the FDIC and DIF.
Yes, with FDIC/DIF insurance all of your deposits, including your savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), money market deposit, and IRA accounts are fully protected.
Yes. For health and safety reasons, many banks, including Avidia, have had to temporarily limit their branch operations. Though you may not be able to access your money in the same way as before (by walking into a branch), you will continue to receive the same deposit protection.
Plus, as an Avidia customer, you’ll always have access to your funds when you need them. In addition to drive-up and ATM services, we offer the convenience of managing your money with Internet Banking and Mobile Banking. Our Mobile Banking app, even allows you to deposit checks with your smartphone.
Be assured that the Federal Reserve System has sufficient resources to be able to handle the currency needs of bank depositors.
Again, FDIC/DIF insurance protects all types and classes of deposit accounts, including savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), money market deposit accounts, and IRAs. It does not cover mutual funds, stocks, bonds, annuities, or investments that are not deposit accounts.
The FDIC has a team of experts available to answer your questions. Simply call 1-877-ASK-FDIC (1-877-275-3342) and ask to speak with a Deposit Insurance Subject Matter Expert. You can also visit the FDIC’s website to learn more. One tool available on the site is the Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE), which allows you to determine the protection you have.
