Banks working hours during Ramadan

Deputy Secretary General of the Kuwait Banking Association, Sheikha Al-Issa, stated that the timing of receiving customers at local banks during the holy month of Ramadan will be from 10 am to 1:30 pm, based on the circular issued by the Central Bank of Kuwait in this regard.

Al-Issa added local banks will receive customers as follows:

• Main centers and branches operating one shift from 10 am to 1:30 pm.
• Branches operating at Kuwait International Airport: 24/7, based on working hours determined by each bank at its discretion.
• Branches in commercial complexes — from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm except and from 8:00 pm to 11:30 pm Fridays.

She went on to say, “With the possibility of a slight discrepancy in the working hours of commercial mall branches, determined by each bank at its discretion, in coordination with the management of the commercial mall in which the branch is located, customers can also complete their banking transactions easily, conveniently and securely through bank applications on smart phones, or via devices.” The automated withdrawals and deposits, however, will be available in various regions of Kuwait.
