Can you use net banking on bank holidays?
Yes, even when bank branches are closed for customers to visit, you can still use online banking mode. When bank branches are shut, you can use the Internet, mobile applications, and ATMs. Although, in case you need assistance from bank staff, you will not be able to do so in case of a banking holiday.
