The National Bank began processing refunds to depositors on Monday, implementing a structured repayment plan designed to address accumulated liabilities and restore public confidence in the institution. The move follows weeks of preparation by banking authorities and regulatory bodies to establish a systematic approach to clearing outstanding obligations.
Official channels confirmed that eligible depositors can initiate withdrawal requests through designated branches and digital platforms. The bank has established dedicated service centres to facilitate the process and provide assistance to account holders seeking to reclaim their funds.
The repayment programme represents a critical phase in the National Bank's recovery efforts, as regulators work to stabilize the financial sector and prevent further erosion of depositor trust. Banking officials have urged account holders to verify their eligibility status and required documentation before approaching branches.
Authorities have not disclosed the total timeline for completing all reimbursements, citing the complexity of processing large numbers of claims across multiple account categories. Priority has been given to certain depositor segments, though full details of the classification system remain under review by banking oversight bodies.
