Just a heads up for anyone that hasn’t seen news.

If going out a good idea to take alternative payment methods, as reports of cards declining as well.

Says ATM’s are still working but looks like BNZ ones only.

Stu1: Must be a release weekend wait to all the banks roll out BS11 changes

Or BNZ just had an unrelated meltdown - there are a large variety of potential causes.

My employer [a different large bank] has an absolute change freeze over the long weekend to prevent anything like this from occurring due to change; I'd be rather surprised if BNZ didn't also have a change freeze on.
