To modernise and significantly improve the Citadele IT system by implementing a stable foundation for the further development of digital services, payments on the online bank and mobile app will not be available for the entirety of August 22nd.
Bank branches will operate in accordance with working hours, but clients will not be able to make payments at a branch. It is expected that payment cards and ATMs will work as usual.
Citadele invites its clients to plan their payments in a timely manner and to read the bank’s overview of the availability of services while improvements are being made.
