Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) has announced that it will be closing its branches across Nigeria earlier than usual on June 30 to facilitate its scheduled half-year audit activities. In a customer email sent on Saturday, the bank informed clients of the temporary change in operation hours, citing the need to conduct its routine audit procedures.
According to the message, different branches will close at different times, with upcountry branches closing at 2 p.m. and Lagos branches closing at 3 p.m. The bank advised customers to utilize its digital banking channels for transactions during the period of early closure, ensuring that they can still access banking services despite the adjusted branch hours.
The bank assured customers that normal branch operations will resume at regular business hours on July 1, and it appreciates their understanding and continued patronage during the audit period. This temporary adjustment is part of the bank’s routine audit activities, and customers are advised to plan accordingly.
GTBank’s decision to close early is a standard practice for many financial institutions, allowing them to review and update their financial records. The bank’s digital banking channels, including online banking and mobile banking, will remain available to customers during this period, providing them with uninterrupted access to banking services.
Customers are encouraged to take advantage of GTBank’s digital banking channels to conduct their transactions, including bill payments, fund transfers, and account management. The bank’s commitment to providing secure and convenient banking services remains unchanged, and customers can expect normal service to resume on July 1.
By conducting its half-year audit, GTBank aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of its financial records, maintaining transparency and accountability in its operations. The bank’s proactive approach to audit and compliance underscores its commitment to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and regulatory compliance.
As GTBank prepares for its half-year audit, customers can expect a seamless banking experience through its digital channels, with minimal disruption to their banking activities. The bank’s early closure on June 30 is a one-off arrangement, and normal branch operations will resume on July 1.
