People’s Bank, earlier this month, had taken steps to ensure that senior citizens who visited any bank branch (on April 2, 3 and 6) to claim their pensions were given a special service in a safe, hygienic environment in the wake of the difficult situation in the country caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Accordingly, arrangements were made to keep a minimum of one metre distance between senior citizens who visited the branches with the help of the security forces. Senior citizens who had to line up outside the branch as they waited for their turn were shielded from the hot sun by temporary shelters that were put up outside of the branches. All branches and Self Banking Units (SBUs) were provided with facilities to clean hands using soap and running water or liquid hand sanitiser. People’s Bank officers, together with security officers, guided the customers while all employees wore face masks to ensure everyone’s protection. Specially-trained cleaning staff was made available to maintain a high level of hygiene in all branches and SBUs. Senior citizens were highly appreciative of these special arrangements made by People’s Bank, the bank said in a media release.
