Sberbank's ATMs and payment terminals across the country will stop working for roughly 40 minutes Wednesday night while the bank upgrades its software.
Sberbank said in a statement on its website Tuesday that its ATMs and terminals would be out of order between 12:30 and 1:10 a.m Moscow time.
While its ATMs are offline, Sberbank will carry out planned works to upgrade the software used in its processing center, the bank said, apologizing for the inconvenience caused to its customers.
State-controlled Sberbank has the largest branch network of any Russian bank. As of July 1, 72.5 million Russians had Sberbank cards, 6.2 million of which were credit cards, Interfax reported.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
