#2When engineering teams are working hard to increase the uptime of their service. This banks approach is funny to ask customers to visit the next day.

#3I think having “business hours” for websites is an interesting experiment that could help foster a sense of community as people must visit around the same time as everyone else. Also saves on server costs.
Imagine for instance if Hackernews was only open from 12pm to 11pm on weekdays and until 1 AM on weeekends.

Wait until you learn about their approach to getting new customers living abroad (non resident Indians)
They’ll ask you to physically mail in all the documents, on your dime, instead of scanning and emailing like a normal person.
So I need to spend 100$ to open an account. Unlike American banks who will offer you money to open accounts.

Forcing your sleep rhythm on people who have a different one than you for no reason other than a moral crusade isn't a nice thing to do.
Also, you cannot make people feel a sense of community with you by annoying them. Annoying someone will make them dislike you.

Or, it self selects out people who would cost more money in support to the bank. If you’re in their time zone (and awake when they are), the bank could save money by only needing to have support available at certain times.
Similarly, they may not want to have you in their community. So, the community they form might be smaller, but more aligned with what they want.
They are definitely reducing their pool of customers, but maybe they are still attracting the customers they want. Why not let the market decide if they can find enough customers with this approach.
Honestly, the banks I use in the US often do something similar. It’s not as bad as this, and only on their online banking site, not their marketing site. They have maintenance windows late at night (in their time zone), and don’t allow logins during that time. It’s not always every night, but it’s often enough that I’ve noticed (at 3-4am).

Well like it or not that's how society works. Name me a community that isn't a where things operate 24/7. It annoys me too, but when 97% of everyone observes a normal sleep schedule, who's even around to staff and support the nightlife? Why should my hours be forced upon anybody else?

B&H Photos (a place that sells far more electronics than just photography stuff) disables their ordering system on their website during Shabbat.
Even for Black Friday, which could potentially result in them losing business. I can respect it though.

How would that work across timezones
