Bangladesh Bank has announced revised office and transaction hours for all scheduled banks during the upcoming Ramadan. The Supervisory Data Management and Analytics Department issued a circular on Tuesday stating that banking transactions will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., while office hours will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. All scheduled banks across the country will operate within this timeframe throughout the holy month.

According to the circular, there will be a short break for Zuhr prayers from 1:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., during which internal arrangements may allow transactions to continue. Normally, banks conduct transactions from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and official activities continue until 6:00 p.m. The circular also noted that regular office hours will resume after the end of Ramadan.

The adjustment aims to accommodate the special needs of employees and customers during the fasting period while ensuring uninterrupted banking services through internal coordination.
