The Ministry of Finance and Treasury (MOFT) has confirmed that technical issues with the new banking interface system have delayed payroll payments for civil servants.
The transition to the new system resulted in salaries earmarked for BSP accounts being held up, while ANZ and BRED account holders received their payments successfully.
The MOFT has assured affected civil servants that the issue is not related to cash flow problems but rather a banking system glitch.
According to the facilitating bank, delayed payments will be processed by Friday, October 24.
The MOFT apologises for the inconvenience caused and appreciates the understanding of affected civil servants.
