The Consumer Advocacy Foundation of Nigeria (CAFON) is calling on Nigerians to shun all banking transactions on March 1, 2016, to protest excessive charges by the financial institutions in the country. President of the group, Sola Salako, said in a press conference in Lagos at the weekend, that the era of arbitrary charges by banks was no longer tolerable; hence Nigerians should act fast by joining the protest, tagged, “No Banking Day Campaign.’’ She said Nigerians had endured excessive charges, inexplicable fees and unfair contracts that only protected the banks, not consumers. She said, “Banks debit consumers’ accounts at will for charges we never agreed to or were not aware of. They charge us for everything. We pay to get our statements, introduction letters, debit cards; and now, some banks are charging N210 for the use of deposit and transfer forms in their branches.” Salako said that in view of the recent policies on bank charges, it is unfortunate that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which should protect consumers from undue exploitation, appears to be more sympathetic to the banks at the detriment of the vulnerable consumers. She said that while March is coincidently the world’s consumer month, Tuesday, the first day of the month, has been set aside as a #NoBankingDay? She said the day would be a passive nationwide consumer action day when aggrieved consumers should avoid all banking services. “Don’t visit any banking hall, don’t use your ATM cards, don’t log in to any online banking, don’t transfer any money from your phones, tablets or laptops, don’t make any POS or online payments, don’t issue or present any cheques dated March 1, 2016,’’ she urged bank customers.” www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/business/-shun-all-banking-transactions-on-march-1/134672.html |
