Today bank timings in Pakistan
Today bank timings in Pakistan
Today (Tuesday, 24 March 2026) bank timings in Pakistan are the shortened Ramadan-ul-Mubarak 2026 schedule announced by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). These apply to all commercial banks, DFIs, and microfinance banks nationwide, including in Pakistan.
Public Dealing / Customer Banking Hours (for transactions):
Monday to Thursday: 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM (continuous, without break)
Friday: 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM (continuous, without break)
Since today is Tuesday, banks are open for public dealing from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Office Hours (for bank staff, not public):
Monday to Thursday: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM (without break)
Friday: 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM
Important Notes:
These timings are temporary and will automatically revert to normal (longer) hours after Ramadan ends.
Most branches follow these exactly, but a few selected or extended-hours branches may vary slightly — check with your specific bank (e.g., via their app, website, or helpline).
ATMs and online/mobile banking (IBFT, bills, transfers) remain available 24/7.
Some Islamic banking branches may open on Saturdays (usually 9:00 AM–12:30 PM or 10:00 AM–2:00 PM), but this does not apply today.
If you're in Faisalabad and need to visit a branch (e.g., National Bank, Allied Bank, MCB, Meezan, etc.), plan to go before 2:00 PM today to avoid missing the cutoff. For exact branch status, it's best to call ahead or check your bank's official website/app, as rare exceptions can occur.
