The mass blackout places the bank as one of the most affected sectors. The incidence has caused the blocking of ATMs, which by not having electricity has been inoperative throughout this Monday, as well as the face -to -face care in the branches, which have been forced to lower the window. “We have closed for security,” a worker from Banco Santander tells the economic information.
“Following the security protocol, the offices have been closed, and branches of the branches will not be available until the electricity supply is recovered,” they explain from Banco Sabadell. The greatest impact has been detected in electronic payments, practically paralyzed throughout the day since after 12:30 pm the electricity supply cut occurred. Only all those who have TPV have been saved with access to the telephone network, a residual percentage until the service has been restored.
From the Catalan entity he has admitted that the situation has caused a decrease in the operation, although the corporate centers have worked normally by having “electrogens that have stable the systems.” Access to bank applications has not been possible during most of the day, which added to the aforementioned problems to execute monetary transactions has plunged into the total paralysis to the sector.
The establishments that have remained operational only accepted effective in a context in which physical money is less and less used. Most supermarkets and restaurants have been forced to lower the blind or attend only to people who had tickets and coins.
From CaixaBank they assure that they have activated the contingency plan to guarantee the continuity of the service, which has been able to access both the website and the mobile application as long as there was an Internet connection. The group has also closed offices. Along the same lines, BBVA has launched the measures collected in its action protocol and trust that the ATMs recover normality once the electrical service is restored.
