Nope, i tink wat dey mean technically is dat should u choose to withdraw tru d counter den b prepared to pay d charges and if u choose to use other means den u wont hav to pay....the choice if yours....

but to me its rubbish.

How many of us crying have N500,000 to deposit or withdraw daily? If you have that daily you can not be calling yourself a common man again.
And if a small business make a daily turnover of over 500k every day, it should be registered and have a corporate account in which case it's limit will be 3m.
So the policy is not against the common man.

This cbn policy to me is a step in the right direction if we want to reduce the excessive use of cash.

Now let me help you out!

You want to pay direct labourers at your site, these labourers are so poor that, they can haldly operate an account. They demand you pay them their 2,500 naira in cash so they can buy 2 tins of rice, pepper and oil for their hungry family... Would you not rather withdraw the money and pay them so that they can work for you the next day?

500000/2500

=200 labourers

Please, how many labourers are on this your site?

The CBN just wants to use mental gymnastics to confuse people.

The other day, they gave a shady example on how the 2% only affects money above 500k. so if it's 501000, you pay 2% of the 1000, that's N20.
But who the hell withdraws N501000?
if u deposit N800,000. It will be 2% of 300,000 etc

I think what they are saying is for you to avoid the charges simply do not use cash deposits but receive your money by transfers. If you are withdrawing also do so via transfers and non cash methods

That said the banks should know that there are thousands of illiterate Nigerians who would not know how to use these methods. Or doing so may compromise the safety of their money. We have heard cases of others illegally hacking into peoples bank account and making away with their cash

Before we start penalizing cash transactions especially for illiterate traders, we need to first ensure safety and integrity of our online and electronic payment options



Oga there's more to it than that. By the time you accumulate the N250, N500 you pay for drink at the bar, by the time you accumulate the 1k,the 2k you pay for fuel at the filling station, 500k don land oh.. By the time 2% is taking form such amount, what's the gain of the bar and the filling station?

1M is the lowest we withdraw in a week in our store, as in if we dont withdraw at all, we wil withdraw 1M.

Even d POS man is tired of us cus of our numerous 500k, 300k 200k we use to colect from him.

bus driver or keke driver or even tipper or trailer driver will come and use POS abi? You think its only private cars and people using generator that make use of filling stations?

So also some stores makes sales of 3k ,5k small small like that amounting to 500k.The problem here is you think only one customer will bring the whole 500k.

I can understand that of withdrawal,but what i am still trying to wrap my head around is that of deposit , that will only hinder mopping up cash undecided

Lets not also forget how many days it takes to transfer money when network decides to get crazy. Last time i had to send mails, make calls before i received alert in the fourth day.

If you utilize the various options available for payments - POS, QR code, USSD, etc, you would not need cash. Or you'd need just minimal cash.

All these other channels are prone to "network failure". USSD is even highly insecure. Cash however is never affected by "network issues" and is still king anywhere

I guess its a way to stem corruption. Corrupt government officials no longer accept transfers but Cash. They need to be curbed somehow

Btw what the CBN is saying is that, we should use alternative methods of payment. USSD code, QRcode, Mobile Banking, ATM transfer to make payments

We just like to sensationalize things here. I even thought the charge applied to all the deposits. Even mechanics and petty traders have bank accounts. Why should anyone be carrying cash above 500k

If you are operating a grocery shop or petrol station and after daily sales, cash at hand runs in million, how will you manage such a situation? Won't you carry the cash and deposit in a bank? Will you insist that all customers payment must be electronically on this 'network failure' operating environment? Oh! I forgot, we should embrace cheque payment. Take your cheque book and run to grocery shop or petrol station and see who will attend or listen to you. You don't just erect a house without digging and ensuring strong foundation. Cashless society is a healthy practice, but we haven't done much in building strong foundation for it to thrive in Nigeria. A country that doesn't have central data, improve electricity, reliable internet service provider and advance technology cannot effectively operate cashless society.
Wait, why do we want to operate cashless society that involves electronic business transaction for everybody, but we can't implement and embrace electronic voting for adults (voting age) exclusively? This is more beyond the eyes can see.

The option is for you not to withdraw cash, transfer the amount to the recipient via bank . You should also pressure your customers to pay direct to your account so as to avoid you from going to bank to make huge deposits which attracts the 2,3 percent charges

What I do It understand is why they selected some states for this practices . The idea would encourage people to travel to another state to make deposit .imagine a business man loosing 2 percent of 500k, what's his profit shocked
It is not 2% of 500k it that off d amount dat makes it higher dan 500k. If u pay in 550k u will be charged 2% on 50k

Please, how many labourers are on this your site?

my mechanic has bank acct. the people who sell me water every week have bank acct, so does carpenter and electrician and welder and generator guy

belive it or not, it is safer for most of these people to be paid like this. they are often targeted by miscreants. my geneartor guy has a bus. one night some boys broke into his house because they thought he had the daily proceeds on him.

it is the same reason filling stations are targeted over weekends [money is often not evacuated during this period]

it actually pays a construction company to pay labourers via transfer
its is a simple thing - one of the prerequisites for your employment /engagement is a bank account
me sef if i were a site engineer, i would not want this - cash expenses are an avenue to chop
just add five non existent laborers to daily payroll - that is 50k per week, 200k per month

You don't get it. By the time you calculate these little money from the bar, restaurant, laundry over the weekend, it has become huge. Anyway, you may not understand. We are in a very competitive field. Someone that wants to pay N1,150 for his meal and drink in cash, would you reject it because you don't want to carry cash.

Someone even wanted to pay my front office for 5 rooms in cash at the rate of 10k because he has exceeded his daily limit. When the receptionist called me, I had no option but to instruct her to collect it because I don't want him to go somewhere else.

There was even a case a customer refused to use the POS because according to him the bank double billed him and he complained to the bank only for the bank to keep posting him for more than one month. He even did not believe all we told him. We are not there yet.

This thing is complex than that, it's a gradual process and must fairly be done at the same time.
