[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] On the 18th, when the 2022 College Scholastic Ability Test is held, bank business hours will be shortened by one hour.


On the 16th, the Korea Federation of Banks stated, "It is expected that traffic demand will surge due to the movement of test-takers, supervisors, and parents on the morning of the exam day," and "to ensure smooth traffic flow, bank business hours will be changed to 10:00 to 16:00 only on the exam day."


Currently, bank branch business hours are from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. The opening and closing times will each be delayed by 30 minutes.



However, the Korea Federation of Banks explained that for branches operating flexible hours depending on their location, such as airports, industrial complexes, markets, or institutions, or based on customer characteristics, it is necessary to check with the respective bank.
