TL;DR
Recent reports suggest that applying at a central Batumi bank branch can take up to an hour, while a cash deposit at the counter takes about five minutes. Check the hours of the specific TBC or Credo Bank branch before visiting, especially on public holidays.
Credo Bank branches near McDonald’s in Batumi may operate on different hours during public holidays. Map listings can be outdated, so confirm the schedule for that specific branch before going.
For a TBC card, visit a branch directly and confirm which days it serves customers and issues cards, as schedules can differ between branches.
One report from central Batumi says applications have been approved more readily since May, and a branch visit for the process usually takes no more than an hour.
For a cash deposit, using your bank’s teller counter is the simpler option and takes around five minutes. TBC ATMs near branches may also work, but were described as less straightforward.
At some branches, effective customer service may be concentrated roughly between 10:00 and 15:00 even if broader banking hours are listed. For an urgent visit, go in the morning.
