Commercial banks will carry out transactions from 10am to 2:30pm from Monday (today) as Bangladesh Bank (BB) has extended the operation time by half an hour in line with the extension of the restriction enforced by the government to check the Covid-19 infections.
Banks will now continue the operation on a limited scale from May 24 to May 30, said the central bank in a circular on Sunday.
Bank clients will be allowed to do banking activities from 10am to 2.30pm, according to the circular.
However, branches will remain open till 4pm for completing their regular procedures.
The decision of the central bank came hours after the government issued a circular on Sunday extending the ongoing lockdown for another week beginning from May 24 to contain the spread of Covid-19.
Earlier on April 13, Bangladesh Bank issued a circular with instructions on banking hours.
