Bank - a place to rest early, a place to stay until the 30th of Tet
On the afternoon of the 28th of Lunar New Year, Nguyen Tran Khanh Linh - an employee of a Big4 bank, leisurely went shopping for Tet with her family.
Linh said that the transaction office where she works is still open to serve people until the 29th of Lunar New Year (ie February 8, 2024). However, since the 28th of Lunar New Year, the number of customers has decreased, mainly retail customers, so Linh asked for an early Tet holiday.
"Most of my transaction offices are closed for Tet. Those who live in other provinces and cities have even returned to their hometowns since yesterday" - Linh shared.
Khanh Linh said the bank has an online channel for corporate customers if the transaction office is closed.
Sharing the same "atmosphere" as Linh's other transaction offices, another bank employee at VPBank shared that the 28th of Tet is the last working day of the transaction offices.
"On the 28th of Tet, there were not many customers making transactions. In the morning, there were customers coming to withdraw large amounts of money, or a few customers asking about credit card related issues" - VPBank staff shared.
According to VPBank, from tomorrow, the bank will enter the holiday period. Services and features that will be temporarily interrupted during the holiday include services at branches and transaction counters; Regular interbank transfer transactions; Online loan registration or overdraft opening; Savings book transfer; Account identification and upgrade via Video Call on VPBank NEO application.
According to some banks in Cau Giay district, on the last working day of the year, bank transaction offices arranged enough staff to be on duty at all counters, especially the counters serving money transfers and deposits, to ensure smooth transactions.
Among the banks, many banks still maintain service until the 30th of Tet. For example, PVCombank announced that it will serve at the counter until the afternoon of February 9 (the afternoon of the 30th of Tet).
This is the only bank so far that has announced it will be open to serve customers until the last day of the year.
Accordingly, PVCombank employees and bank staff still work at 46 branches/transaction points nationwide.
