Captured cards

If your card is captured in a Commercial Bank ATM it can be returned to you.

  • If the card is captured in a Commercial Bank ATM attached to the branch, simply walk into the branch and request for the card to be retrieved from the ATM
  • If the card is captured in Commercial Bank ATM not attached to a branch, the card will be sent the collection centre in the D-ring road branch and you can collect the card after 3-5 working days
