Central Bank of Afghanistan- Da Afghanistan Bank- in a statement on Thursday, January 13, 2022, said that ATM services by commercial banks in the country will be resumed.
The services stalled after the IEA regained power on August 15 last year and are now supposed to be operational back from Saturday, January 15 on.
Da Afghanistan Bank in the statement said that the decision was made after a series of talks with commercial banks and the union of banks.
Based on the decision, Automatic Tailor Machines (ATMs) of commercial banks in specific areas will be available for customers.
"Da Afghanistan Bank is striving to return banking system and services to normal and reactivating ATMs is a good news for people that will bring further facilities." Reads the statement.
The Central Bank did not disclose the amount of money one can withdraw from the machines as the restriction of withdrawing a specific amount of money from accounts is still in place.
As per the new policy, one can only withdraw $200 per week or 20,000 Afghani.
