Central bank wants ATMs to run efficiently before TetThe State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV) has asked the relevant agencies to ensure all automatic teller machines (ATM) are operational in the months approaching Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday, when there is high demand for cash transactions. Attention must be paid to the upgradation of software, operation of cameras and maintenance to ensure the ATM systems are working efficiently. The central bank has also asked the National Payment Corporation of Viet Nam to check its technical system to prevent errors and ensure the smooth operation of ATM systems. Cash withdrawal demands have often increased strongly in the months ahead of Tet, being even three times higher. The central bank’s statistics showed that more than 121 million banking cards were issued, as of June 2017.
