The Year of the Dragon in 2024 is approaching! As the Lunar New Year draws near, it is a Chinese tradition to use new items, including clothing, shoes, furniture, and even new banknotes. Therefore, major banks in the country typically offer services to exchange old banknotes for new ones before the Lunar New Year.
In recent years, banks have directly provided new banknotes at ATMs, allowing people to withdraw them conveniently, avoiding crowded counters and providing faster and more convenient services. Different banks have varying restrictions on the withdrawal of new banknotes, with some offering only RM50 banknotes, while others include RM10 and RM50 options. Some banks also specify a maximum withdrawal of 30 new banknotes per transaction.
Usually, banks like AmBank, Maybank, CIMB, Hong Leong Bank, etc., start providing new banknotes one to two weeks before the Lunar New Year. Additionally, these banks have introduced red packet envelopes for the year 2024, which can be obtained for free during transactions for those interested in collecting them.
