Dan talks with Heather Himstedt, Vice President of Busey Retail Banking, about concerns surrounding pennies no longer being accepted at some stores. She explains what customers can do with their pennies and confirms that banks will still accept them and will continue to provide pennies when customers cash checks.

She notes that while it’s unclear if or when policies may change in the future, banks are being proactive by keeping pennies available, especially for customer needs, while minimizing excess for businesses. Heather reassures customers that while some people are fearful, for now everything is fine, and Busey remains committed to supporting and serving its customers—including continuing to take pennies.
