On public holidays, GIG-A can still be accessed and used. However, please take note of the following points:
ATMs are still accessible and you may draw and/or deposit cash into your account.
Transfers can still be requested. However, you may expect your transfer to be processed on the next business day after the public holiday (e.g. If the public holiday is on a Friday, your transfer will be processed on the following Monday.)
Account openings and closings are also affected by the public holiday schedules (e.g. If you open your account on a public holiday, your account will be processed on the next business day.)
