On Friday afternoon, many businesses close briefly or delay opening until after 14:30 or 15:00 to accommodate congregational Jummah prayers.

Bank Counter vs Office Hours

Bank counter transactions for general public services end at 15:00, although internal banking administrative operations continue until 16:00 or 17:00.
