Standard Chartered Timings — Official Hours

The standard SCB Pakistan banking week, and where to confirm your specific branch.

  • Mon–Fri Standard
  • Friday Prayer Break
  • Saturday Varies by Branch

Written & reviewed by Dildar Hussain — 10+ years in Pakistani banking, BS Banking & Finance (NUML University)

Standard Chartered bank timings follow Pakistan's standard banking-sector hours: Monday to Friday, with a Friday prayer-time break at most branches. Saturday opening varies by branch — check the official locator before visiting.

Standard Chartered Pakistan follows the same core banking-week structure set across Pakistan's scheduled banking sector, with some branch-level variation. This page gives the general pattern — always confirm your specific branch before a Saturday or after-hours visit.

Standard Weekly Hours

DayTypical Hours
Monday – Thursday9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Friday9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, with a prayer-time break
SaturdayClosed at most branches; select branches may open
Sunday & public holidaysClosed

Hours reflect the standard pattern followed across Pakistan's banking sector, as set by the State Bank of Pakistan's banking-hours framework; individual SCB branches may vary and should be confirmed directly.

Friday Prayer Break

Like all Pakistani banks, SCB branches typically pause counter service for a short window around Friday (Jumu'ah) prayers, generally in the early-to-mid afternoon. The exact break window can shift slightly by city and season, so plan a Friday visit either well before or after early afternoon.

Trade Service Hours

For business and corporate clients, SCB's Trade Client Service Team operates 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday, with a same-calendar-day processing target for import/export and guarantee transactions submitted before 1:00 PM PST cut-off — a separate schedule from retail branch hours.

Confirming Your Branch's Exact Hours

Because Saturday opening and exact closing times can vary by branch and city, the only reliable way to confirm today's hours for a specific location is the official ATM & Branch Locator at sc.com/pk/atm-branch-locator, rather than a fixed number quoted here that may not hold for every branch.

Good For

  • Knowing the standard Monday–Friday SCB banking week before you plan a visit
  • Avoiding a wasted trip during the Friday prayer-time break
  • Understanding trade service hours differ from retail branch hours
  • Finding where to confirm a specific branch's Saturday status
