Get these important tasks done quickly.
PNB has issued a warning and advised such account holders to visit their nearest branch to reactivate their accounts by the April 15th deadline. They can complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process there.
If they fail to complete this process within the stipulated timeframe or are negligent, their account will be closed without any alert or prior notice. This means that completing a simple KYC update or resuming transactions can prevent account closure.
These accounts are vulnerable to fraud.
PNB, one of the country’s largest banks, explained the reasoning behind the action taken on these bank accounts. The alert was issued to reduce the risks associated with inactive accounts for the past three years. Banks are closely monitoring such inactive or zero-balance accounts due to the potential for fraud. Customers are also advised to contact their bank branch if they encounter any difficulties in checking their account status.
