Ever since our first article on how account holders of various banks were having a hard time utilising their Covid-19 allowances, several banks have been taking positive steps to make the experience easy. One such bank is FBC Bank. First, they introduced a way for their account holders to use WhatsApp and email to liquidate funds. Now they have introduced a mobile banking option that will allow customers to quickly convert their allowances even on phones that don’t have internet.
