Banks to remain open on Monday

Most major banks will remain open despite the government’s decision to make Monday a collective day of leave for employees.

“Banks that are members of Perbanas [the National Banking Association] have agreed to keep serving the public,” Sigit said in a short message Sunday to Tempointeraktif.com.

Banks that are members of the association include Bank Central Asia, Bank Mandiri, CIMB Niaga and Danamon.

The government announced in a short notice that Monday would be a national day of leave because Tuesday is a public holiday in observation of the Buddhist tradition known as Waisak.
