9 March 2020 - < 1 min Reading time
Due to the developments surrounding the coronavirus, every sector must adapt and take responsibility to limit the spread of the epidemic as much as possible, as well as its negative consequences on our economy and employment.
The financial sector is organizing itself to ensure the continuity of its services to users.
Financial institutions are reviewing their way of working in close cooperation with the government. Procedures are being adjusted where necessary.
Banks have followed the government's advice and canceled all trips to risk areas for their internal operations. They are also taking other internal precautions, such as replacing physical meetings with teleconferences and telecommuting.
Through online banking and numerous digital payment solutions, users can continue their transactions without the need to travel.
Since the situation continues to evolve, precautionary measures can, of course, be reviewed as needed
