Global Crowdstrike Outage Has Minimal Impact on Retail Banking Services
but Some Card Payment Services Have Been Disrupted

The Central Bank of The Bahamas is aware that banking services in The Bahamas have been impacted, to varying degrees, due to the CrowdStrike issues causing major IT outages globally, as widely publicised in the international media earlier today. The Central Bank is in close contact with the local banking institutions, which are identifying and working through any impacted services.

Nonetheless, except for some card payment services, retail banking services remain, generally, available to the public. Should you encounter issues with accessing services, please contact your respective retail banking institution.
