    The Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (TDFI) recognizes the impacts the pandemic event is having throughout Tennessee including straining the operational resources of the banks and credit unions we supervise. It is critically important that depository institutions can continue to focus their efforts on operations, their employees, their customers and their local economies during this pandemic crisis. In order to support those efforts, we are postponing examination activities through April 30, 2020 to avoid further strain on resources or distraction of institution personnel. For those banks or credit unions already contacted about an upcoming examination, we are suspending any examination-related requests unless you notify us that you do not desire a delay in the examination. If a bank or credit union requests that an examination continues during this time, we will certainly accommodate that request and complete the examination entirely offsite.
