The Central Bank has requested all Licensed Commercial Banks and Licensed Specialised Banks to keep their branches open for at least two hours tomorrow in the areas where Police curfew is lifted to provide urgent banking services to the general public.

However, the CBSL encourages the public to use online payment instruments for their day-to-day transactions and to withdraw cash at less-crowded ATMs of any bank.

CBSL also wishes to advice banks and the general public to strictly adhere to necessary health and safety requirements in providing/obtaining such services.
