Bangladesh Bank (BB) has directed branches of banks involved in Hajj activities to remain open beyond regular banking hours on September 25 and 26 to facilitate deposits for Hajj registration for 2027.
According to a circular issued by the central bank on Wednesday, the concerned bank branches will remain open on Friday, September 25, and Saturday, September 26, despite the days falling outside normal banking hours, to receive Hajj registration payments from applicants.
The branches have been instructed to take necessary measures to safely receive the registration money, provided Hajj registration applicants are present to make the deposits.
