Banks across the country have reopened after a 10-day vacation for Eid-ul-Azha.
Regular services resumed in keeping with the usual timetable on Sunday.
Banks enjoyed an extended holiday from June 5 to June 14, halting all transactions except cash withdrawals from ATM booths, as per a bdnews24.com report.
However, due to the extended holiday, the ATMs of many banks faced cash shortages.
Earlier, a nine-day holiday had been declared by the government for the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.
On Sunday, banks in the Motijheel and Gulshan areas drew high footfall as customers looked to conduct important transactions that had been on hold during the holidays.
All banking activities, including deposits and withdrawals, cheque processing, loan repayments, loan authorisations, and opening of letters of credit (LC), were running regularly.
Transactions will take place from 10am to 4pm, while banks will remain open until 6:00 pm.
The turnout at state-owned banks was relatively smaller compared to private institutions, where the queues at counters were quite long.
