Internet banking service restored after hours of disruption

The internet banking service has been restored throughout the country on Wednesday evening, after hours of disruption following a technical glitch at the server of National Payment Switch Bangladesh (NPSB).

The glitch halted inter-bank transactions and hampered the cash withdrawal service through the automated teller machines (ATM).

The NPSB is a central network for internet and card-based transactions among the banks.

Mejbaul Haque, spokesperson of Bangladesh Bank, could not be reached over the phone for his comment regarding the technical glitch.

However, an official associated with the NPSB service said there were problems in other transaction systems as well, but it has been solved.
