Since the festive period, the bank’s ATM machines have run short of money, causing inconvenience to the people of the small island province.
The main ATM machines at the BSP Branch in Lorengau, have not been operating as normal due to shortage of cash.
Even customers lining up inside the main bank to withdraw cash have been told on several occasions by bank tellers that withdrawal will not be possible and that they have to wait for deposits to be made in order to have sufficient cash for withdrawal.
