Bangladesh Bank (BB) has fixed new office and transaction hours for banks across the country during the holy month of Ramadan in 2026, according to a circular issued today.
Banks will remain open from 9:30am to 4:00pm, Sunday through Thursday. However, customers will be allowed to carry out banking transactions from 9:30am to 2:30pm.
There will be a 15‑minute break from 1:15pm to 1:30pm for Zuhr prayers. Despite the recess, banks have been instructed to continue internal coordination to ensure uninterrupted services, similar to practices observed before Ramadan.
