Don't Pay and Don't Withdraw: Belarusians Warned of Potential Banking Card Disruptions

image

On the night of October 29, card holders may encounter brief interruptions in maintenance. The reason is scheduled technical work on the equipment of the Bank Processing Center's data transmission network.

Which services may be interrupted

The discussion is about short-term interruptions. They will affect the maintenance of bank card holders connected to the processing center.

There may also be outages in the network of retail and service organizations.

Cash dispensing points and self-service devices are at risk.

ATMs that service connected banks may also experience disruptions.

Separately, possible interruptions in contact center services are noted.

What is advised to card holders

The center's message does not provide recommendations for clients. However, from the description it follows that the interruptions will be short.

If an operation does not take place during night hours, it can be repeated later.

Scheduled work affects the technical infrastructure, not the cards themselves.

Therefore funds on cards do not disappear, but access to them is temporarily restricted.
