NORMAL BANKING SERVICES AFTER SHORT DISRUPTIONS: BSP

Bank South Pacific  (BSP) will provide normal banking services to its customers today after it closed all branches in NCD at 2pm yesterday.

BSP Group Chief Executive Officer Robin Fleming explained to  PNG Economics Bulletin that coupled with limited availability of public transport and for the banker to get all its staff back home safely, it closed all its NCD branches as of 2 pm.

“We have re-opened this morning at all NCD branches notwithstanding that some branches do not have the full complement of staff.

There may be some delays in getting ATM’s fully cashed due to security concerns but otherwise our objective is to provide normal banking services for our customers,” Mr Fleming said.

The CEO said BSP did not experienced any vandalism or targeting of our branches.
