The disbursement of funds to depositors of Alta Bank Bitola—specifically those who hold payment accounts at the bank but do not possess payment cards—is continuing. Starting today, in addition to Bitola, payouts are also being processed at bank counters in Tetovo and Strumica, where individuals can withdraw up to 20,000 denars. According to information from the Central Bank, a total of 750 transactions were completed across the three cities today. The process is proceeding smoothly, with effective organization and in accordance with the established schedule.
As of today, bank clients can also make payments for utility services and settle loan repayment obligations at the counters in Bitola, Strumica, and Tetovo. This facilitates the fulfillment of some of their ongoing financial obligations, the statement notes. The Central Bank, which placed Alta under its management until a stable buyer is found for the bank, also reminds the public that, effective this week, the weekly limit for cash withdrawals and point-of-sale payments using the bank’s payment cards has been increased from 10,000 to 15,000 denars.
The National Bank is continuously monitoring the situation and taking measures to gradually ease the conditions under which clients of “ALTA Banka” AD Bitola can access their funds. Ensuring access to their funds and the uninterrupted execution of payment services for the bank’s clients remains the priority, the statement emphasizes.
