Cheques deposited up to close of business are processed on the same day itself and funds released to customers’ accounts before 3 p.m. the following working day, enabling counter withdrawals for any large sum as well as withdrawal through any of HNB’s ATMs islandwide. All current account holders at HNB enjoy this superior service.
