UBA, Access Bank Adjust Closing Hours Amid High Operating Costs
United Bank of Africa (UBA) and Access Bank have announced adjustments in hours of operation at some of their branches. In a separate email to their customers, the two banks cited different reasons behind the move, including insecurity and costly operating costs.
The decision will likely expand the number of Nigerians in the labour force while also encouraging a thriving Point of Sales activity.
The bank in a notification entitled Adjusted Closing Time for Select Branches to its esteemed customers contains the list of the branches and the states where they operate.
Access bank urged its customers to consider processing most of their transactions via its digital channels.
Access Bank stated: “You can simply process most of your transactions via our digital channels, as a few of our Access Bank branches nationwide will be closed at 3 pm from the 29th of August, 2022.” “Other branches will be open as usual from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and we promise to keep customers informed as it made the changes.”
For UBA, the bank stated in a notification on Thursday, 1 September to customers said it is adjusting working hours in some of its branches to ensure the well-being of employees and customers alike.
