Coronavirus: Hungarian National Bank Calls On Banks To Keep Branches Open
The National Bank (MNB) has called on banks and other financial institutions to keep their branches open for business to allow personal administration during the period of curfew restrictions.

The MNB said financial institutions could set shorter opening hours on the basis of actual customer service needs. If demand increases for personal services, normal hours should be restored, it added.

The National Bank also recommended the designation of certain banking hours for elderly clients. Takarékbank announced over the weekend that it recommends customers younger than 65 years of age to visit branches only after 10 a.m.
