Banks in Bangladesh have reopened after three general holidays, but many lenders have faced cash withdrawal pressure and disruptions in foreign transactions. People have been queuing at branches and ATM booths to withdraw cash, with branches in Motijheel being crowded since the beginning of the day. Bank officials say withdrawals outpaced deposits the day after reopening amidst a nationwide curfew and internet blackout. ATMs are conducting withdrawal and deposit services, and foreign transactions for export and import activities are also limited. Some banks cannot access the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) due to slow internet connection.
