It’s been an extremely challenging time for small businesses. Cash flow issues and reliance on government funding have become the new norm. We’ve received feedback from our customers that have struggled with the digital options available from the banks, such as remote deposit capture and ATMs, as these options only accept checks up to a certain amount. When digital payments aren’t an option, before making a trip to the bank–make sure it’s open. To help, we’ve compiled a list of both COVID and CORE banking hours in Canada for the Big Five banks:
