Iran Central Bank Says It Played No Role in Four Banks’ Switch to New Tech Providers After Disruptions

Iran's central bank said Monday it had no role in selecting technology service providers for four banks affected by recent disruptions. @FirstSquawk reported the statement, which noted that the banks had been permitted under decisions by higher authorities to engage other active information technology companies to restore banking services as quickly as possible.

The central bank described as baseless any claim that it had directed or recommended the selection of a specific company.

It also warned that it reserved the right to pursue legal action against those who published such claims without evidence. The four banks experienced disruptions and subsequently used alternative providers to resume operations.
