Mercantile Bank suspends operation Feb 17-21

Mercantile Bank will suspend all banking services from February 17 to February 21 (Wednesday to Sunday) as it would be shifting its data centre, duly approved by Bangladesh Bank.  

The suspension will include ATM booths, debit card services and internet, mobile (My Cash), Islamic and agent banking, said the lender in a press release.

However, credit cardholders will be able to make purchases and to withdraw cash using other banks' ATMs.

Of the five days, the first two are workdays, the next two a weekend and the last a government holiday.
