Bank branches will not open to the public this Friday (30). Banking hours will only return on Monday (2). The information is from the Brazilian Federation of Banks (Febraban).
According to the entity, on days when branches are closed, the population will be able to use electronic banking services, such as mobile and internet banking, ATMs, telephone banking and correspondents to carry out financial transactions.
“Cards and consumption bills (such as water, energy, telephone, etc.) due on the holiday [dia 1º] may be paid free of charge on the next business day. Usually, the dates are already adjusted to the calendar of holidays, whether federal, state or municipal”, highlighted Febraban.
Febraban recalls that customers can also schedule payments for consumption bills or pay them at the ATMs themselves, if they have a bar code. Bank slips can be scheduled or paid through DDA (Authorized Direct Debit).
Already the service posts of the INSS (National Institute of Social Security) will work normally on this Friday.
On December 31, there will be changes in the service provided by attendants at Central 135, which will take place from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. On January 1st, this type of service will not take place.
The INSS points out that the electronic service works 24 hours a day, including on holidays. The insured can obtain information about benefits, find out the time at which the service was scheduled at the agency or even obtain payment information.
