Sometimes it is so necessary to get to the bank, but this is impossible, since the branch is closed due to the holidays. Nobody wants to waste time looking for a working bank. Therefore, you should find out in advance the opening hours of banks on holidays.
Why banks don't work on holidays
V Russian Federation only a small proportion of banks are state-owned, most are commercial institutions. If state institutions set days off in accordance with the orders of the Central Bank, then the management commercial bank can set the working schedule and the number of days off at its own discretion.
All employers, without exception, must obey Labor Code RF. Article 112 of the Labor Code lists all current holidays that are considered non-working days.
The following rules apply to the operation of all institutions:
- if the holiday coincides with a non-working day off, then the day off is postponed to the next day;
- according to the work schedule, the pre-holiday working day should be reduced by one hour.
The government annually considers the issues of distribution of working hours, therefore, the schedule of work of banks on holidays and the transfer of weekends is established by law.
Banks working hours established by the Central Bank
The mode of rest and operation of tanks on holidays is regulated by the Central Bank. Every year the list of holidays and days off is updated on the CRH website. For example, on New Year's holidays, Russians will have a rest from 1 to 6 and 8 January... Also in the Russian Federation they have a rest February 23, March 8 and other holidays.
In 2016 and 2017, the work of banks on the New Year holidays (only some institutions), resumed on January 3. Duty departments of Sberbank, Gazprombank, VTB 24, Rosselkhozbank have been working since January 3-4, in some banks a shorter working day was established for this period.
It should be noted that the duty branches of Sberbank in many regions also work on weekends.
Where to look for a bank on duty
There is very little information on how banks will work in the coming holidays. Moreover, the employees themselves learn about whether the department will work, only the day before, the order is signed by the management and sent out 3-5 days before the date of the holiday.
If a client is regularly served in one financial institution, then you can find out the work schedule in one of the following ways:
- directly in the department(managers post a special announcement in advance);
- the schedule and working hours of each branch of any region, you can see on the official website of the bank;
- by contacting the call center, the bank's telephone inquiry service operates seven days a week, therefore up-to-date information you can always find out only by dialing the specified number.
As a rule, on holidays the most large banks Russia. These can be both commercial and government agencies. Offices are considered duty serving clients as usual, even on Saturdays and Sundays. For example, at the Sheremetyevo airport there is a duty department of Sberbank of Russia.
According to the experience of previous years, on holidays, duty offices of the following banking institutions usually operate:
- Sberbank of Russia;
- Rosselkhozbank;
- VTB 24;
- Gazprombank;
- OTP Bank;
- Alfa Bank;
- FC "Otkrytie";
- B&N Bank;
- Rosbank;
- Promsvyazbank;
- Raiffeisenbank.
It is also worth noting that the largest number of offices of banking institutions on holidays operates in Moscow, St. Petersburg, as well as Moscow and Leningrad region... The more distant the region is from the capital, the fewer duty departments there are. Typically, such branches operate in large regional centers and nearby cities with a population of more than 1 million inhabitants. In less large cities with a population of up to 1 million inhabitants, banking institutions work according to the schedule established by the Central Bank for the holidays.
Important! Despite the fact that on holidays, such branches provide operational and cash services, the official payment will be made only on a working day. This must be taken into account, since the transfer and crediting of funds is carried out within 3-5 working days.
What to do if, after all, the bank does not work
If the client did not have the opportunity to find out how banks work on holidays, but the need to carry out the operation is urgent, then it is worth using one of the proposed options:
- Make a payment via Internet banking. If the client has access to Personal Area, then you can carry out payment transactions from the card account. Moreover, you can transfer to card accounts any other banks.
- Depositing funds to an account through an ATM or terminal. Operations such as: transferring money, crediting a payment, paying for services, depositing funds can be done using an ATM (with a built-in cash-in function) or a terminal.
- Using electronic payment systems(WebMoney, Yandex Money), you can implement a number of banking operations... At the request of the client, a receipt for the exchange, transfer or deposit of funds is sent to the specified mail.
Before you find out how banks work on New Year's holidays and other weekends, you should find out how urgently you need to carry out the operation. In some cases, it is better to use payment system as they process payments instantly.
