The Bangladesh Bank has asked all commercial banks to limit daily cash withdrawals to less than Tk 3 lakh per customer until further notice.

Citing security reasons, the central bank issued this instruction to the managing directors of the banks through a text message on Saturday night.

However, digital transactions and cash transfers of any amount will remain unaffected.

Earlier, the maximum cash withdrawal limit was set at Tk 2 lakh.
