Latvian central bank cashier's offices will relocate in new year

Take note – story published 1 year ago

As of 2 January 2023, the Cashier's Offices of the Latvian central bank, Latvijas Banka, will move from their current location at K. Valdemāra iela 1B, Riga, to Bezdelīgu iela 3, Riga.

The building located between the National Archives of Latvia and Vanšu Bridge hosts the cash processing center of Latvijas Banka.

Customers who mainly used Latvijas Banka Cashier's Offices to receive services involving cash or the provision of Credit Register data, are in future asked to visit the building at Bezdelīgu iela 3 housing Cashier's Offices. Automatic coin deposit machines will also be available there. They allow for depositing the coins saved in customers' "piggy banks" and crediting the amount equivalent to the value of coins to their bank accounts in a faster and more convenient manner.
