Banks ensure cash supply for Lunar New Year

According to the SBV, there will be fines for ATMs that run out of cash or service for more than 24 hours during the holiday. Furthermore, ATMs will be transported to industrial parks, processing zones, and populous areas due to high demand for cash withdrawals. This year, the SBV will continue to take measures to prevent the illegal exchange of banknotes with low denominations, based on the regulation of the government. 2018 is the 6th consecutive year that the SBV will not be issuing banknotes with denominations lower than 5,000 Vietnamese dong.
