Re­pub­lic Bank has ad­vised that it is ex­pe­ri­enc­ing a tech­ni­cal chal­lenge with its teller sys­tem that has re­sult­ed in ser­vice de­lays at its branch­es.

In a state­ment, the bank said its team is work­ing to ad­dress the mat­ter and has com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing an up­date by 1:00 p.m. to­day. Cus­tomers are be­ing en­cour­aged to utilise the bank’s elec­tron­ic chan­nels, which in­clude ATMs, Point of Sale, Re­pub­li­cOn­line and Re­pub­lic­Mo­bile, while the sit­u­a­tion is be­ing re­solved.

Re­pub­lic Bank al­so ex­tend­ed an apol­o­gy for any in­con­ve­nience caused to cus­tomers as a re­sult of the dis­rup­tion.

The bank has not pro­vid­ed de­tails on the na­ture of the tech­ni­cal chal­lenge or the ex­tent of the de­lays but in­di­cat­ed that mea­sures are be­ing tak­en to re­store reg­u­lar op­er­a­tions as soon as pos­si­ble.

Re­pub­lic Bank is one of the largest fi­nan­cial in­sti­tu­tions in Trinidad and To­ba­go with branch­es across the coun­try.
