How Bank Holidays in April May Affect Your Financial Plans
If you have any critical banking tasks, make sure to plan your transactions and bank visits in advance to account for these holidays. Services such as cheque clearing, fund transfers, and cash withdrawals may experience delays due to the closure of banks on specific days.
However, it’s important to note that digital banking services, including mobile banking, internet banking, and ATMs, will remain available throughout the month, allowing you to conduct transactions without interruption.
