26 March 2015, Bank of Mauritius
The Bank of Mauritius informs the public that it encountered some unexpected technical problems with a section of its computer systems. As a result, the Mauritius Automated Clearing and Settlement System (MACSS) and the Cheque Truncation System (CTS) were unavailable as from 14:30 hrs on 25 March 2015.
Remedial actions have been taken and the Bank wishes to reassure the public that:
i) MACSS has been restored to normal operations as from 16:30 hrs on 26 March 2015 and interbank payments are now taking place.
ii) All payments sent to MACSS on 25 March 2015 have been completed.
iii) A special clearing session has been organized to enable settlement of cheques. The CTS is expected to be fully operational soon.
The Bank regrets any inconvenience thus caused and reassures all users of the systems that necessary steps are being taken to ensure continuity of service.
The Board of Directors of the Bank had, on Friday 20 March 2015, decided to have an independent and full audit of the IT systems conducted, with a view to enhancing their efficiency and performance.
