Banks across the country will be open for a couple of hours every working day, although the government has declared a 5-day general vacation nationwide to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
The cash transaction will be available from 10am to 12pm every working day.
The Bangladesh Bank issued a circular on Tuesday asking all scheduled banks to provide customers with cash withdrawal and deposit facilities only from their branches from March 29 to April 2.
Cash transactions can be made from 10am to 12 noon every working day so that people can withdraw money for their daily expenses, and depositors can keep their cash in the bank, said the central bank spokesperson Md Serajul Islam.
However, bankers will have to work from for 10am to 1:30pm.
