Как уже сказал, вот и будет тест. Такое ощущение, что бастовать будут и админы тоже, но банки просто прикрываются фразами "если не работает, то так и должно быть" на всякий случай. Вот что я получил по почте от конторы, которая любезно рассылает экспатам всяческую информацию о событиях в стране:
BANKING SERVICES AVAILABLE DURING STRIKE
A three-day strike begins on 14 December and involves banks, banks' finance houses, finance houses, Luottokunta and Automatia. Banks' branch services will not be available during the strike because most branches will have to be closed during the strike. Availability of electronic services varies from bank to bank and there may be delays or disruptions at some point.
If the strike makes it necessary for some service providers to shut down their information systems, the consequences of the move will be announced to customers on the service provider's website.
Banks and finance houses seek to make sure that both personal and business customers have access to the most vital banking services, such as withdrawal of cash from ATMs and payment with cards during the strike.
How the services function may vary in individual banks and finance houses, and delays may occur in fixing failures. Each service provider informs its own customers of any changes in its services.
Banking services
Cash
Cash is available from cash ATMs in the normal course during the strike, but there may be failures in individual ATMs. Most of the banks' branches are closed.
Online banking services Availability of online banking services varies from bank to bank. Banks make efforts to ensure that all payment instructions fed into the system in advance are executed at the due date, if there are sufficient funds in the customer's account.
Card payments
Cards can be used for paying for shopping.
Verification of sufficient funds may fail and affect particularly Visa Electron payments.
Verification service via telephone may be congested. The service may even be interrupted in individual banks if systems fail. Failures may take longer to fix during the strike than in normal times.
Blocking services
Reports of lost cards and card abuse are accepted by banks but the service may be congested. Personal IDs and passwords can be blocked during the strike, but the service may be congested.
Transmission of salaries and pensions
All salary and pension payment instructions given to the bank in advance are executed at the pay day as far as possible. Employers and the Social Insurance Institution of Finland give information on any deviating practices.
Payment service and transmission of payments
Banks are not able to guarantee that all payments are transmitted during the strike. Instructions given in advance electronically are executed at the due date, as far as possible, if there are sufficient funds in the customer's account. Electronic invoicing and online card payment services are available, though the service may differ from bank to bank.
As banks' branch offices are mostly closed, they do not provide face to face services during the strike. Payment instructions given in a payment service envelope are not processed.
Cross-border payments
Cross-border payment instructions given in advance via online banking facilities are executed as far as possible at the due date, if there are sufficient funds in the customer's account. Banks also make efforts to transmit all incoming cross-border payments during the strike, but there may be delays in the service.
