CBN fines Access, UBA and Stanbic IBTC N800 million for cryptocurrency transactions by Ubah Jeremiah Ifeanyi April 6, 2022 The Central Bank of Nigeria has fined three Nigerian commercial banks a total of N800 million for failing to comply with regulations prohibiting consumers from transacting in cryptocurrencies. According to Bloomberg, the sanctions are part of the CBN’s efforts to tighten down on cryptocurrency, ensuring that commercial restrictions on cryptocurrency trading are in place. It was also revealed that the CBN has the ability to detect cryptocurrency transactions that commercial banks may have overlooked. Stanbic IBTC Bank, Access Bank Plc, and United Bank for Africa are among the banks affected. Banks and amount in fine According to the report, Access Bank Plc, the country’s largest lender by assets, was fined N500 million for failing to shut down customers’ crypto accounts. United Bank for Africa Plc was fined N100 million naira for a customer’s digital-currency transactions. CBN penalized Stanbic IBTC Bank, the local unit of Standard Bank Group Ltd., N200 million for two accounts allegedly used for crypto transactions. Chief Executive Officer of Stanbic IBTC, Wole Adeniyi disclosed at an investor conference call in Lagos that while Stanbic IBTC followed the central bank’s orders, the transactions for which it was sanctioned may have passed through its system undetected. He said the CBN was able to detect the relevant transactions using “advanced capacity” that Nigerian lenders do not have access to, and they have urged the central bank to share the technology. “It doesn’t seem that they are going to entertain a refund, but they are now sharing intelligence with us to be able to kind of deter clients,” Adeniyi added. Nairametrics has information that other banks are impacted as well and is currently on course to uncover them. https://nairametrics.com/2022/04/06/cbn-fines-access-uba-and-stanbic-ibtc-n800-million-for-cryptocurrency-transactions/ lalasticlala mynd44 seun dominique
