Iranian state-affiliated media announced that Bank Sepah has restored its ATM and point-of-sale services, though mobile and internet banking remain temporarily offline. The restoration follows a period of widespread shutdowns affecting major banking systems across Iran.
Following severe disruptions to Iran's major banking systems, Iranian authorities announced the partial restoration of services for Bank Sepah. The service outages coincide with broader infrastructure and banking system shutdowns currently plaguing the country amidst ongoing regional military escalations.
According to the prominent Iranian news channel آخرین خبر, which published an official statement from the financial institution, ATM devices and point-of-sale (POS) terminals are currently available and operating "according to the normal routine." The bank also confirmed that physical branches will continue to provide daily banking services as usual.
The bank's statement included a direct apology to citizens and customers, expressing regret for the "delay in providing banking services." However, full digital banking capabilities have yet to be entirely restored. Both آخرین خبر and the IRGC-affiliated channel کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران 🏴 reported that mobile banking and internet banking will become operational "in the coming hours."
The news aggregator channel خبری پلاس|خبرفوری 🔖فوری corroborated the return of ATM and POS services, attributing the updates on the system restoration directly to Iran's state broadcaster, Seda o Sima (IRIB).
The source messages are straightforward service announcements from Iranian state-aligned and semi-official media regarding Bank Sepah. The background context provides the critical framing that these outages are part of a broader, widespread shutdown of major banking systems across Iran during the current military conflict. The translation reflects the official, administrative tone of the original Farsi announcements.
