Went To The Bank Today.

We went to the bank today as early as it opens. Usually, all banks here are closed on Saturdays except for some and most especially when the bank is located inside a mall, they are expected to be open even weekends. So we went to the bank inside the mall, get some cash and paid some bills and do some errands. And we were home before 11am. We don't want to be out much out in the sun. It's so hot. Good things malls are all air-conditioned.

We rarely need to get cash anymore. Most things can be paid for with a debit or credit card. I do still HAVE cash on me, as does Pretty, but we save that for emergencies. I'm glad things went well for you.

@rakski My favorite restaurant will only accept cash, too. And I've been wanting to go eat there for quite a while now.

I’ve never been to a bank in years. Many have closed down here due to lack of footfall. I pay all my bills online, and if I need cash, there are ATMs around, but they are becoming rarer too. It’s definitely not too hot here, and it’s the rain you have to avoid.

It was smart of you to get things done early in the morning.

Good stuff, that sounds productive! Agreed though, the air conditioning in malls, and other stores, is very nice

Yes, it's cold there. I might have to go back there and camp for a day when it's really hot

Banks don't open on weekends in Nigeria but you can use an alternative payment channel

Our banks are open to noon here. I would want to get my business done in extreme heat too. I am not made for hot temperatures!

BDO and BPI are always open in the mall... BPI inside the mall is my wallet saver ever! And it's safe to withdraw from ATM because they are always inside the premises of the Bank inside the mall with guards. But I think Union Bank is also open every Saturday.

On a hot day, it's lovely to walk into an air-conditioned mall.

That's true, banks that are inside the mall are also open on weekends. This is the case of one bank in the Philippines.
