JOHANNESBURG, July 19 (Reuters) - Capitec Bank's

card payment, ATM and app services have been fully

restored after experiencing significant disruptions across all

its banking channels due to a global downtime incident involving

cybersecurity company CrowdStrike ( CRWD ), it said on Friday.

"Importantly, we want to reassure our clients that their

bank accounts and personal data remain secure and unaffected by

this incident," the lender said in an emailed response to

questions.

Rival Absa bank said in an X post that it was aware

of global technology outage and as a result the quality of some

Absa services may be impacted.
