Can You Use Online Banking On A Bank Holiday?
Yes. Digital banking services generally remain available even when physical branches are closed. Customers can use their bank’s mobile application or net banking for most routine transactions. UPI payments and money transfers can also be made without visiting a branch. ATMs and debit or credit card services generally continue to operate as well, although individual services can occasionally be affected by maintenance or technical issues.
Customers who require branch-specific services such as certain account-related requests, document submissions or other in-person banking work may need to wait until the branch reopens.
