Three major Iranian banks halted card-based services after cyberattacks caused disruption, reported Reuters citing the country's state-owned banking technology provider.
The Informatics Services Corporation said that Bank Melli, Bank Saderat and Bank Tejarat were affected.
It told state television that card-related operations at the three lenders were paused as a precaution against further unauthorised access, while cybersecurity teams worked on recovery.
A public relations official at the company said cash machines, point-of-sale devices and mobile apps connected to card systems were impacted.
Iran's Banking Coordination Council had also reported disruption on June 14 at Melli, Saderat, Tejarat and the Export Development Bank of Iran following a cyberattack aimed at a shared communications system.
