Stanbic, Absa, and Centenary Bank have indicated that branches will now be open between 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, compared to the 8:30 am to 5:00 pm working hours before the lockdown announcement on June 18, 2021.
Since Saturday, the banks have been adjusting working hours to 9:00 am to 1:00 pm as several economic sectors remain closed. The banks have encouraged clients to use digital channels amid the ongoing COVID-19 concerns.
