The Bangladesh Bank has asked all commercial banks to limit daily cash withdrawals to less than Tk 3 lakh per customer until further notice.
Citing security reasons, the central bank issued this instruction to the managing directors of the banks through a text message on Saturday night.
“Due to security problems in transporting cash to bank branches, please do not allow withdrawals of more than Tk 3 lakh in cash during the upcoming week,” read the message.
However, digital transactions and cash transfers of any amount will remain unaffected.
Earlier, the maximum cash withdrawal limit was set at Tk 2 lakh.
