Alta Banka Restores Electronic and Mobile Banking, a Skopje Branch Works From November 11, the Limit Stays at 15,000 Denars a Week
Clients without a card can use up to 20,000 denars in two weeks. The ten-day deadline for offering the shares on the stock exchange expires, with no new data on the sale.
Skopje – Clients of Alta Banka AD Bitola can again use electronic and mobile banking from November 10, and from November 11 a branch in Skopje is also working. This was announced by the National Bank, which has run the bank under temporary administration since November 1.
The limits remain. Clients with a payment card can use 15,000 denars a week, and clients without a card 20,000 denars in two weeks. By the editorial calculation, at an exchange rate of 61.5 denars per euro, that is about 244 and about 325 euros respectively.
The limit applies collectively to all accounts at the bank. It covers card payments in shops and online, cash withdrawals from ATMs and at the counter, as well as payments through electronic and mobile banking.
The new Skopje branch is in the Biser shopping centre, at 1/1 Jane Sandanski Boulevard. The branches in Bitola, Strumica and Tetovo continue to work, and at the counters clients can withdraw cash within the limits and pay utility bills, loan instalments and other obligations.
“Alta Banka AD Bitola continues to operate, and the temporary administration is a protective measure applied until the ownership situation is resolved,” the National Bank states. The priority, it adds, remains protecting the interests of clients and preserving the stability of the bank.
The National Bank says it is easing the conditions gradually and that it is carefully monitoring the situation. The administration was introduced after the parent bank in Belgrade lost its licence.
Governor Trajko Slaveski announced on November 3 that the bank’s shares would be offered on the Macedonian Stock Exchange ten days after the introduction of administration. By the editorial calculation, that deadline expires on November 11. On November 6 Slaveski said that six investors had expressed interest.
What was not announced: whether and when the shares were offered on the stock exchange, at what price, and until when the limits will apply. The National Bank’s latest announcement contains no data on the sale.
