Bank Timings in Pakistan

Most of the banks and financial institutions, including development finance institution (DFIs) and micro-finance banks (MFBs), in Pakistan follow the timings/business hours of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). However, there are some exceptions; some banks close early at 5 pm, instead of 5:30 pm.

Note: Since timings are subject to change, always contact the relevant bank or your nearest branch for up-to-date information on timings. For contact numbers of banks, please see Contact Numbers of Banks. The contact number of banks and financial institutions are also available at SBP's official website.
