The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CB) has requested all Licensed Commercial Banks and Licensed Specialised Banks to keep their branches open at least for two hours on Monday March 23 in the areas where a police curfew is lifted to provide urgent banking services to the general public.
“However, the CB encourages public to use online payment instruments for their day to day transactions and to withdraw cash at less crowded ATMs of any bank,” it said in an announcement.
The CB also wishes to advice banks and general public to strictly adhere to necessary health and safety requirements in providing/obtaining such services.
