Mizuho bank tries to restart its ATMs

The bank Mizuho, \u200b\u200bJapan's third financial institution, announced Thursday it was trying to revive the operation of its ATMs, victims of a blackout for three days. ATMs the company stopped working Monday, but the bank says that the failure is not directly related to the earthquake and power outages that followed.

The bank has been unable to explain the reasons for failure, but says it will be able to provide details on the outage on Thursday. The first two days of failure would have blocked about 570 billion yen (5.2 billion) of transactions, according to estimates by the bank. Withdrawals as transfers were blocked by the outage.
