Life is cyclical. They end just the way benefits boys are ending.


If they ever resurrect. Almost every single person will be doing POS then nobody to partronise any one.

With the implementation of the now infamous CBN cashless policy, many Nigerians are groaning under the negative effect of it due to the absence of raw cash to run their day to day businesses and the POS operators are not exempted.

For example in my area, no POS operator opens again, no cash to run the business, except those that run other businesses with their POS, now I wonder how POS businesses in other places in the country makes ends meet without using other businesses to support it.

But where did APC got the money they were spaying for people today in Lagos? Una don see say buhari was never lying when he said many governors have kept huge amount of money at home in billions

their recent action proves just how wicked nigerians can be which is very bad. i hope they have built mansions with the 40percent charges they have collected. Then again that’s why long term skill is always the surest income stream because most businesses are just fast way to make few millions and that’s it. now lot of businesses now accept transfers, pos business is done!

no it is not but i put in the hours,expertise, fuel, machinery like my pc and printer etc and the client will see that what he’s paying for is justified compared to some doing a legal money laundering then use it to take advantage of others. i know pos agents that hoard cash and waited till the scarcity time to exchange at 300 to 1k. that’s wickedness!!

I'm speaking about people have seen. POS employ people, some use other people's money for the operation. They make it from the daily profits on top of those transactions carried out.

No body is hoarding cash, some of these POS operators are buying the cash you see them use for their business.

I saw a POS operator buying 100k for 120k from someone selling in a wholesale business.
Add the time they will spend and their resources that go for it. What do you expect from them.
I even question the woman.

Notwithstanding, is not a must to withdraw from them go to your banks.

Tinubu is the only candidate that speaks against this policy that complicated the lives of people and render many without income. He has boldly come out to condemn it while others try to be politically correct.

The POS guys at my gate are still doing well. They usually only have cash in the evenings and by then you'll see a crowd of over 100 people queing up to get cash.
Only a handful of POS operators are doing well
There is scarcity in the system and in any system there is scarcity, only a few with long legs and arms do well.

Re: How Are POS Operators Coping With The Current Cash Crunch? by Lifewasgood: 6:03pm On Feb 23, 2023
The government has succeeded in making more people jobless. If the government can stand their ground on going cashless all pos operators should start looking elsewere for their survival. Personally i don't see any reason to use their services when i have been buying everything with my card and paying taxi/bikemen with transfer. The new government might want to be popular with the masses and suspend or cancel the policy but that will only take us back to the stone age.

If Buhari succeeds with this cashless policy POS business would die. Why would there be a need for POS if we are all doing transfers and using ATM cards for our transactions?
