KUALA LUMPUR – Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) today assured that all banks will be operating during the tighter movement control order (MCO) from tomorrow until June 14.
In a tweet today, the central bank urged the public to plan cash requirements to reduce movement to bank branches or ATMs.
“Make the best of available online use (internet banking) for efficient, fast and secure transactions,” BNM said.
On Friday, the National Security Council (NSC) announced the implementation of the full-scale MCO with more restrictions on social and economic sectors.
Economic activities that are allowed to continue include food and beverage businesses, utilities, transport, banking, e-commerce and the communications sector covering media, telecommunications and postal services.
Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) today announced that its branches nationwide will operate by appointment only from Wednesday until further notice, while some will be temporarily closed to support the nation’s ongoing efforts to curb the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a statement today, the bank said the measure will enable better crowd management at branches and reduce the potential of transmissions as far as possible in a bid to protect the safety of its customers and employees.
“Customers who wish to book an appointment may do so online via Maybank EzyQ on MAE app and Maybank2u web,” it added. – Bernama, May 31, 2021
