Central Bank says ATM to get operational in Afghanistan

Da Afghanistan Bank (Central Bank of Afghanistan), said Thursday, said that Automated Teller Machine (ATM) services by commercial banks will be resumed in the country.

According to the statement, the ATMs will be available at specific locations for the customers.
“Da Afghanistan Bank is striving to return banking sector to normal and reactivating the ATMs is a good news [for people] and [Da Afghanistan Bank] is trying to bring further facilities to the people.” Reads the statement.
Da Afghanistan Bank, so far, has not disclosed the amount of money people can withdraw from the ATMs.
Currently, people can withdraw up to $400 from dollar-denominated accounts or 30,000 Afghanis a week from the previous limit of $200 or 20,000 Afghanis.The post Central Bank says ATM to get operational in Afghanistan first appeared on Ariana News.
