Slice’s move into full-service banking is still settling on the ground. As of late 2025 and into 2026, many branches continue to display North East Small Finance Bank signage alongside the Slice branding. That’s normal. The banking licence, operating rules, holidays, and branch hours still follow the NESFB framework, even as customer-facing experiences increasingly carry the Slice identity.
What this means for customers is simple: branch hours are predictable, cash cut-offs are firm, and most everyday banking is designed to happen in the app leaving branches for specialised needs.
Slice Small Finance Bank Opening Time
Most branches open for customer services at 10:00 AM on working days.
You may see doors open a bit earlier for staff prep, but counters and transactions are officially live from 10:00 AM. If you arrive before that, expect a short wait until systems are active.
Best window: 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM for quicker service and lighter queues.
Slice Small Finance Bank Closing Time
The official branch closing time is 4:00 PM.
In practice, new customer entry is usually restricted after 3:30 PM so staff can complete end-of-day procedures. If your work involves documentation or multiple steps, plan to enter by 3:15–3:30 PM.
Slice Small Finance Bank Cash Transaction Timings
Cash handling follows a strict cut-off—this hasn’t changed post-merger.
- Cash deposit & withdrawal: 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM
The 3:30 PM cut-off is firm. Since the integration, branches reconcile physical cash earlier to sync accurately with Slice’s digital ledger and reporting systems. Even if the branch is open till 4:00 PM, cash won’t be accepted after the cut-off.
Tip: Finish cash work before 3:00 PM to avoid last-minute rush.
Slice Small Finance Bank Lunch Time Policy
There is no complete lunch shutdown.
Lunch breaks are staggered, so the branch remains open through the day. That said, service can slow between 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM, especially if you need a specific officer.
Fastest time: Late morning.
Slice Small Finance Bank Working Days & Saturday Timings
Monday to Friday: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Saturday:
- Closed on 2nd and 4th Saturdays (RBI standard)
- Open on 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays with regular timings
Sunday: Closed
Branches also observe national and state-specific bank holidays, in line with NESFB rules.
ATMs, App & Digital Alternatives
Slice is built digital-first:
- UPI, borrowing features, FD management, and most account actions are designed to be done 24×7 in the app.
- ATMs operate round the clock (subject to cash availability).
Because of this, branch visits are usually needed only for specialised documentation or high-value cash tasks.
How to Plan a No-Hassle Visit
Treat 10:00 AM as the real start. Cash ends at 3:30 PM—no exceptions. Avoid the lunch slowdown if you can, and remember that Saturdays follow the RBI pattern.
The branding on the board may still say North East Small Finance Bank in places, but the clock hasn’t changed. Once you plan around it—and use the app for everything else—Slice branch visits stay quick and predictable.
