Banks brace for holiday rush
Makhosi Sibanda
THE Bankers Association of Zimbabwe (BAZ) yesterday said it would make provisions to accommodate last minute transactions by clients following the declaration of Monday as a public holiday by President Mugabe.
The declaration of Monday as a holiday, the eve of Christmas Day, has left members of the public with only today to do their banking transactions and shopping, as tomorrow is also another public holiday, Unity Day.
The Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement yesterday that the President declared the public holiday in terms of Section 2(2) of the Public Holidays and Prohibition of Business Act (Chapter 10; 21).
In an interview yesterday, BAZ president Mr George Guvamatanga said they have in the past made efforts to accommodate last minute transactions.
“In any case we have other means that can enable members of the public to withdraw their money, such as the Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) and point of sale systems,” said Mr Guvamatanga.
He said they were committed to offering the public convenient banking services during the holiday.
