Your payment instructions – including outward remittances issued by us and inward remittances issued from other banks or us – may be delayed, depending on the situation. Please arrange your funds and transactions in advance as needed. We may also adjust our system maintenance time due to unforeseen circumstances, in which case we'll make an announcement in advance. Please refer to the 'Personal Banking - Important information - Maintenance' section on our official website. For enquiries, please contact your Relationship Manager or call our customer service hotline on 95366.

Please note that the date and time shown on your statements and the calculation of the interest will also depend on the daily cut-off time and the processing conditions of our different systems.
