The Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents in Nigeria (AMMBAN), Lagos State Chapter has released a unified price list (charges) for Point of Sales (POS) operations in the State.

He further explained that while POS agents are permitted to go below the price list depending on their area, they are not allowed to go above the price list, as reported by CEM.


Furthermore, at the meeting, Ogungbayi Ganiyu, the General Secretary of AMMBAN, stated that efforts are being made to communicate the changes to the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Legit.ng understands that since the implementation of the CBN's naira redesign policy, which resulted in a cash shortage in the country, there has been a disruption in the operation of POS agents.

While many have reverted to the charges prior to the scarcity of naira notes, there are still some who continue to charge higher than the previous rates.
