According to the Banco Nacional’s department of institutional relations, the issues have affected all transactions through their electronic channels but not affected the systems in their physical branches.
The department also confirmed there are currently no estimates of a specific date or time for when the online service will be restored.
Credit card customers using the platform at the bank with a payment date within the affected days will have their cancellation period extended so that users "do not fall into arrears".
"We decided to move the cut-off date for these users because they use the platform the most," the bank said in a statement.
