The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has ordered
banks in the country to refund charges made
on customers for daily cash withdrawal or
deposits exceeding set limit in the 30 states
that full cashless policy transactions has not
taken place.

Briefing newsmen after the 322 Bankers’
Committee Meeting in Lagos at the weekend,
Mr. Kolawole Balogun, who represented the
Director Banking Supervision Department of the
CBN, Tokunbo Martins said “At the meeting we
agreed that banks should refund the charges
made on customers for withdrawal and
deposits in those states that cashless policy has
not taken place.”

“The cashless policy has officially taken place in
five states and federal capital, Abuja. The states
are Lagos, Abia, Anambra, Kano, Ogun and
Rivers States, as well as the Federal Capital
Territory, Abuja. The CBN has not officially
announced the take off implementation of full
cashless policy in other states other than the
already stated states and federal capital
territory, Abuja, due to some infrastructure
bottlenecks.

“We are allowing ample time for the banks to
deploy adequate infrastructure needed to
support the cashless policy as well as enable
additional sensitization of various bank
customers on the merits of the policy. There
are telecommunication, power and other
problems that are yet to be addressed.”

The CBN has introduced a new policy on cash-
based transactions which stipulates a ‘cash
handling charge’ on daily cash withdrawals or
cash deposits that exceed N150,000 for
Individuals and N1,000,000 for Corporate
bodies. The new policy on cash-based
transactions (withdrawals & deposits) in banks,
aims at reducing the amount of physical cash
(coins and notes) circulating in the economy,
and encouraging more electronic-based
transactions.

Commenting on the names of debtors recently
published by banks, Tokunbo said that the CBN
will sanction the debtors if they refused to
negotiate with their banks on how to pay their
debts.

Check the two sources and read directly from there. You may then be convinced or go through google and type latest news from CBN.

Don't always be too quick to criticize. You have eyes to read, brain to assimiliate and a mind to interpret.
