April 30th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) The Central Bank’s National Electronic Payment System (SINPE), will be partially suspended tomorrow, May 1st, due to the mandatory holiday for Labor Day.
SINPE services will also be partially suspended on May 3rd, because of a decree that public employees will receive the day off for the visit of U.S. President, Barack Obama.
The SINPE system is used for online and electronic transfers between bank accounts at different banks.
However, the Real-Time Debit Service (DTR) and Third Party Funds Transfer (TFT) will function normally, according to a statement from authorities.
