Banks are requiring customers to cover their faces to receive face-to-face services in branches and offices throughout the country, as part of the stepping up of protection measures for workers and clients against Covid-19.
The Association of Commercial Banks of the Dominican Republic (ABA) and the Dominican League of Savings and Loan Associations (LIDAAPI) reported that the initiative is effective as of Monday, 13 April 2020, in all branches and service offices in the country.
“The security and protection of people is the priority of the entities that make up the financial system given the need to guarantee continuity of service to customers,” states the financial sector’s press release.
Banks are encouraging clients to use ATMs and electronic banking. A select number of branches are open from 8:30 am to 12:30pm Monday to Friday. Banks are all now closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
