This could have left thousands of customers unable to access banking services.
Business Unity South Africa went to court seeking an interdict.
The application to interdict Cosatu and Sasbo was brought by the Business Unity South Africa (BUSA).
The organisation’s Kaizer Moyane said the court action reaffirmed the fact that both unions should not have bypassed the Nedlac processes.
Moyane added that banking services will not be disrupted on Friday and it will be “business as usual”.
