Customers of Zenith Bank have taken to social media platforms to express their frustration over difficulties with online banking transactions.

They reported challenges in making payments and using various payment features on X on Tuesday, following a notification from the bank on Saturday that it would undergo maintenance from September 29 to October 1.

In a statement shared by Zenith Bank on X on Saturday, it said the routine maintenance would commence on September 29 and end on October 1, from 12:01 AM to 5:00 AM.

The statement titled “Notice of Routine Maintenance” read, “Please be informed that we are currently undertaking routine maintenance of our Information Technology Infrastructure to enable us to significantly improve the quality of service rendered to you.
