You're lucky to have a physical bank near enough.  Here in the UK the banks have abdicated their responsibility to serve customers in person, so physical branches now only exist in major towns.  A typical visit to the bank takes half-a-day and involves perhaps a 50 mile round trip.
Currently there are still Post Offices and these offer some banking services.  But I envisage that these will disappear within the next 5 years largely because of the Horizon scandal, see:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal>
On-line banking is the only option for most of us, including quite large businesses.
My rule is - any communication claiming to be from my bank, be it email, phone, or a letter in the post - is probably a fraud attempt.   Your response should always be to visit the bank in person.  If you go fairly frequently they may get to recognise you and welcome you by name!
