This includes the arrangement for opening of bank accounts at work premises to be provided by financial institutions, and deposit/ withdrawal of monies by foreign workers in rural areas to be supported by agent banks. The Bank is cognisant of the feedback provided by the Employers’ Representatives on matters related to foreign workers’ access to financial services.
