For those planning to handle any banking business with Stanbic Bank Kenya this Saturday morning, you might want to set a reminder — or better yet, wrap it up before the rooster crows.
Stanbic has just sent out a text alert to customers, warning of a scheduled system maintenance window this Saturday, 17 May, from 3:00 AM to 7:00 AM. That’s a tight four-hour stretch when all banking channels — including mobile banking, ATMs, online platforms, and maybe even in-branch systems — will be taking a nap.
"As part of our commitment to reliable service, we will be carrying out routine system maintenance on Saturday, 17 May, from 3 AM to 7 AM. During this time, all our banking channels will be temporarily unavailable. We appreciate your patience and thank you for choosing to bank with us."While this may sound like a minor hiccup, it’s good to plan ahead — especially if you’re the kind of person who sends emergency M-PESA top-ups, checks balances before dawn, or simply likes knowing your money is just a tap away. And hey, if you’ll be out clubbing Friday night, maybe settle your bills early — or at least move some cash to M-PESA/Airtel Money or withdraw enough to avoid that awkward moment at the counter. No one wants to get locked up in a bar over unpaid drinks!
The bank says the move is part of its commitment to delivering reliable service, and honestly, a bit of maintenance is better than a surprise outage later, right?
So whether you’re headed out for a weekend getaway or planning some early morning online shopping, make sure your banking needs are sorted before 3 AM on Saturday. After 7 AM, everything should be back to normal — hopefully, with fewer bugs and smoother transactions.
