CBN Imposes Penalty On Banks For Mutilated Notes by ikorodureporta(op): 4:37pm On Apr 03, 2022
N400 for every bad N100 note, CBN imposes penalty on banks for mutilated notes

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has directed Deposit Money Banks (DMB) to stop including mutilated notes as part of their deposits with the apex bank.

Ahmed Umar, director, currency operations department of CBN, in Abuja, said this in a circular issued over the weekend.

According to the circular, the directive took effect from April 1.

Composed banknotes are mutilated currency notes comprising several parts of different banknotes of the same denomination.

The parts of such currency notes are usually put together with the intention of receiving value.

Umar said that the existence of such banknotes in the economy falsified the true value of the currency in circulation.

He added that it could also be a channel for fraudulent activities.

He said that henceforth, composed banknotes discovered in the deposit of DMBs shall attract a penalty of 400 percent of the value.

“The management of the CBN observed with concern the increase number of composed banknotes deposited by DMBs and request for replacement of such banknotes by members of the public,” CBN said.

“The existence of composed banknotes in the economy falsify the true value of currency in circulation, and can also be avenue for fraudulent activities.

“Consequently, any composed banknote discovered in the deposit of DMBs shall attract penalty of 400 percent of the value.”

Does it not surprise u that u see people hawking new naira notes at social events and we can't get these same notes directly from our banks.
Our commercial banks are complicit in this and some of d officers of these banks are making money from these acts.

When politicians steal and hide money inside tanks what do you expect?

CBN has been politicized it is now a puppet in the hands of politicians this is the worse CNB regime I have experienced in the last two decades.

This CBN governor is the worst in the history of Nigeria

Always bringing out policy that will make the citizens suffer..

So in other words banks Should not receive multilated bill...and the money should no longer be legal tender ?

Why not give a date so all the multilated once in circulations to be returned...

This is how they banned banks issing out forex

Clueless people everywhere

Okay... Mutilated notes are common nowadays because there are no new notes in circulation. Now, we have to be taking care of our money even though a lot of them are too old to be in circulation
Re: CBN Imposes Penalty On Banks For Mutilated Notes by Akwamkpuruamu: 8:03am On Apr 04, 2022
It is the duty of the CBN through Breaqueating to destroy mutilated currency. They should stop evading their works.
Re: CBN Imposes Penalty On Banks For Mutilated Notes by Nobody:
Senseless Apex Bank. Shey money that was in circulation won't get old?
Does it reduce its value?
No!
Why give senseless orders? CBN should manufacture indestructible notes that won't get wrinkled. Human being sef dey wrinkle when it reach some level.

If I survive in this regime,, I won't be afraid of the next president and his regime come 2023.

Buhari is the example of the bible verse that says
""" Woe into men"*

It's indeed woe unto Nigerians.
