Banks asked to serve flood-hit people through adjacent branches

The Bangladesh Bank today asked banks to provide banking services to the flood-hit people through branches adjacent to the areas that are still unaffected.

The operations of branches and sub-branches located in the flood-affected areas – Sylhet, Sunamganj, Rangpur, Kurigram and other districts – will have to be suspended, according to a Bangladesh bank notice.

The adjacent branches and sub-branches of the affected ones will have to provide banking services to the clients uninterruptedly.
