| Each ATM had dozens of people surrounding it, waiting for their turn to withdraw money. Ms. Nguyen Hong Hanh, Dien Phuc commune shared: "Because I knew that every year there would be a lot of people withdrawing money during Tet, I had to take advantage of the quiet time to withdraw money early in the morning, but when I got there, I still had to wait in line because someone had come to withdraw money before me...".

| It is known that many people in the countryside are not proficient in using ATMs, so some people have to withdraw money for dozens of minutes, some people have to withdraw large amounts of money many times, so the ATMs are always congested and crowded every Tet holiday. Many people are tired of having to wait too long under the hot sun. Photo: Quang An |

| According to recommendations, to reduce the pressure of cash withdrawal overload during the Tet holiday, people, if possible, can arrange their withdrawal time during off-peak hours, in the evening. At the same time, if withdrawing a large amount of money, they can bring their documents to transaction centers to withdraw cash, avoiding having to go to the ATM.
