Although physical bank branches will be closed on the aforementioned dates, all fundamental banking operations may be accessed and handled online. Fund transfers, bill payments, investments, etc. may all be accessed through banking applications and internet banking platforms.

- Use Online Banking: Pay bills, transfer money, and manage accounts through digital banking to save time and effort.
- Monitor Server Availability: Although online platforms are usually reliable, occasional downtimes may occur. Be prepared with alternative payment methods.

- By keeping an eye on these vacations and planning, you may avoid last-minute difficulties and ensure a smooth end-of-year transition.
