A further 43 branches will extend hours from 09h00 \u2013 16h00 (Monday-Friday) and 08h00 \u2013 13h00 on Saturdays.<\/p>\n
The branch at Wits University will now operate from 09:h00 \u2013 16:00 but will be closed on Sundays, FNB said.<\/p>\n
“The decision to extend business hours at FNB branches is based on demand by our customers; we wanted to ensure we service them at times and locations that are convenient for them,” the bank said.<\/p>\n
As a start, the extended hours and Sunday trading will be implemented only in Gauteng.<\/p>\n
“The findings of the pilot in Gauteng and customers needs will be assessed at the end of a four month period before extended operating hours are rolled out to the rest of the country,\u201d the bank said.<\/p>\n
Notably, the branches that will operate on Sundays will not offer teller services.<\/p>\n
“We will have staff on the ground to assist customers with their queries when using our digital platforms. Despite not having teller presence customers will still be able to conduct their banking as normal,” the group said.<\/p>\n
