There are two types of Telephone Banking services to choose from – Self-help Banking, so you can do your banking telephonically without having to wait; and Agent-assisted Banking, so you can talk to an agent who will perform banking transactions on your behalf.

With a host of transactions only a phone call away, banking has never been easier or more hassle-free.
