According to the CBN, this suspension will be effective until April 30, 2024. This move comes in contrast to the CBN’s 2019 initiative to impose fees on customers engaged in cash deposits and withdrawals, aiming to reduce the prevalence of cash transactions. Specifically, for corporate accounts, Deposits Money Banks were set to charge five percent processing fees for withdrawals and three percent processing fees for lodgments exceeding N3,000,000.

As the financial landscape undergoes these changes, customers and institutions alike are urged to adhere to these guidelines provided by the apex bank.
