Zimbabwean depositors struggle to get cash from banks

Depositors from various banks in the country for the past three days failed to access cash from the automated teller machines due to logistical problems in supplying the market with adequate cash following the payment of bonuses to the civil service.

A snap survey yesterday showed that some banks in the capital were not dispensing cash from the Automated Teller Machines while other banks had cash in the machines.

The survey showed that there was no cash at CBZ Bank Angwa Street mid-afternoon. On the ATMs, customers were told to wait for an hour before they could access their cash.

CBZ Bank Robert Mugabe had cash on the ATMs. Barclays Bank Angwa Street had no cash on its ATM during that time.
