What are the available banking services on bank holidays?

While bank branches will be closed for all the aforementioned dates, customers can still access digital banking services throughout the year, unless the bank notifies otherwise (Usually for maintenance work).

Thus, all bank websites, banking apps, and ATM services will be active throughout the year. Online assistance for some branches may also remain active, depending on the bank.
