But is there an exception to cash withdrawal for POS operators? If they are subject to the same 100k limit as everyone else, how will this be beneficial for them? |

Let me explain
If you are going to make payment through the pos for lets say school fee.
the POS operators deduct the school fees plus commission from your atm, he doesnt have to deal with cash.
Also If a POS operator wants to deal with cash, he can also hoard money( save money) and dispense out to those who want withdrawal for a fee Bros it's obvious you don't understand what this cashless policy is all about. Pos operators will lose woefully from it, in fact I see most pos operators shutting down their businesses by next year 6 Likes 1 Share |

thebosstrevor1: Most POS operators are concerned about the new CBN cashless policy, I personally think they shouldn't stress themselves and I think the new CBN policy is a good one for them.
Since a cashless policy is the primary goal of the CBN, if you are a pos operator, you can use this to your advantage, now that the government is encouraging a cashless system that means more business will come your way.
for instance, if someone wants to pay his children's school fees, that person can walk to any POS operator and do that, and you will be able to charge your usual transaction fee
if someone wants to pay for goods and they are far away from an atm or bank, they can now use your POS services to do that transaction
if someone wants to transfer money from their atm to their family member in another location, then it is easy for them to use your POS
people that want to receive cash can also use your POS service, they will transfer the money they need to your account and you give them cash while you take your commission
The CBN cashless policy will bring more customers to your POS Business, now people will be able to pay for anything through POS and you will cashout, you will get more customers than ever before.
Anyway, just see the big picture, fantasize, dream and think of how much money you will make from CBN cashless policy. I get your point have you also considered how much they re going to be charged from the bank for withdrawal? imagine making all these transactions in a day let say 200k for example now bank will charge Dem 5% from that 200k, If they are to make withdrawal please where is the profit here? |

How would the pos operators get cash for their daily transaction since the limit is 100k per week ..
ATM withdrawal is 20k per day... Unless the pos guy pays 10% for any additional cash over the counter which means the price of POS transactions will skyrocket , like you have to pay 1k to withdraw 20k ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) The POS operator can source for cash alternatively instead of from the banks.

Dsalvo:
A smart and analytical guy who knows to ask the right and logical question. OP has not read the policy properly.
POS operator cannot operate a cheat mode because they are hampered by the policy just like everyone else. When a card has done a 20k ash withdrawal limit then that is it for that card and user.
It ode not matter how you collect the 20k. Whether ATM.or POS, when you reach the 20k daily cash limit then no outlet will give you cash whether POS operator or ATM.
We should all learn to study the minute details. If the point of this is to encourage the arrival of a cashless society then why would technocrats be stupid enough to allow the very obvious bypass OP is talking of?
Everyone can read the exhaustive allowances and guideline of the new policy below so we do not become peddlers of misinformation. .

You do not have to use cash when transferring from one account to another using a pos.
Let's say you want to transfer 5k to another account using a pos.
You insert your card, the pos operator deduct your 5k and commission from the transaction, the money will be transferred. Oga nobody is talking about transfer here but rather withdraw. Most Nigerians withdraw this days than even transfer. So how will the POS operator gain when he will be limited to just 20k cash withdrawals a day? 5 Likes 1 Share |

POS business will thrive more with this new cashless policy. These are my takeaway 1. Pos agent will Use transfer more often than atm card. Since maximum cash withdrawal for atm card is N20, 000 for a day. Transfer is limitless
That is the only way they can beat the new policy. |

it won't hinder POS biz, it is business as usual btw, you cant compare the transition from paper airtime to a bank airtime with the POS business, POS is part of the cashless initiative
the amount of atm facilities is not enough for people, so they tend to use POS service
POS works like your atm in some ways, you can transfer to another account, pay for goods and a lot more
so the cashless policy is more of a supporter of POS because POS is also part of the cashless system
I don't think you understand how the POS service functions.... Nevertheless I don't think there's less ATM points across the country. The reason why many patronize POS for one reason is because of the queue you'll either meet at the ATM points or even inside the banking halls because we are a people always in a hurry to some non existent place. |
