In preparation for the imminent arrival of Tropical Storm Tino, banking operations across the province of Capiz have been put on hold for November 3 and 4. The suspension affects all branch offices as local authorities take precautionary measures to ensure public safety and protect financial infrastructure.
The decision comes amid warnings from the national weather agency that Tino is expected to bring heavy rainfall, strong winds and possible storm surges to the Visayas region. With the storm’s approach, the local government has urged residents to secure their valuables, stay informed of bank-service updates and prepare for disruptions to routine operations.
Bank customers and businesses in Capiz are advised to plan ahead: carry out essential transactions before the suspension dates, switch to online banking where possible, and monitor announcements from their financial institutions for re-opening schedules.
