First Bank having network problem today
Most often there seems to be network eror and bad services such as the inability to make transactions. As at now the network is so poort that we can’t even receive the money transfered to our account and even the transfer i made rebounced.
In this case, we find it difficult to reach out to the bank for urgent assistance especially when it is weekend (Saturday and Sunday). oops! in my case it wasn’t even in weekend and the crowd in banking premises is alarming due to this trying times when we still dance to the tune of coronavirus.
Meanwhile, I have contacted the bank about this issues and they promised to resolve it ASAP and assured me that the service will be back as soon as possible.
