Banking hour extended, now it's from 10am to 2pm
The central bank today instructed banks to extend their banking hours by one hour with effect from tomorrow in order to help clients do banking smoothly ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr.
People will be allowed to enjoy banking services from 10 am to 2 pm during the period, according to a notice issued by Bangladesh Bank.
However, branches will remain open until 3:30 pm to complete their regular procedures.
The banking watchdog also asked banks to continue the ongoing limited services until May 16.
The decision came after the government extended the restriction on movement until May 16 to keep the coronavirus pandemic at bay.
The central bank notice, however, has not given any indication on the alternate-day duty rosters for their employees.
