"The effects of the recent temporary disruption in the Finnish interbank payment system are now over and, according to the information received from the banks, any delayed payments have now mainly been credited to clients' accounts," the Bank of Finland reported on its website on Friday.

The malfunction was triggered by a failed clearing on Thursday night.
