Who will benefit from this excess charges govt or banks?
Imagine apart from obnoxious bank charges banks to be charging for depositing and also withdrawal.
Does the crises in the banking sector reach this level that not only government but even individuals should bail them out?
Go to any bank to transact you will see the way bank officials would treat you like a trash and you expect the same people they look down on to pay their salaries?
I have no sympathy for any bank staff

Banks be looking for way to deduct your saved money by all means, tiff people.
Re: Update On Nationwide Implementation Of Cashless Policy by itiswellandwell: 7:24am On Mar 20, 2017
This won't still work. For them to have reviewed it again means, low rate of withdrawal and deposit must have been recorded. People won't want to give bank such for whatever charges.

This will still be reviewed.

This cashless policy may not endure in the long run considering a large percentage of Nigerians who are uneducated and are cash-oriented.

I may be wrong though

Well, it seems that the policy will not apply to internet transactions....

And it is better. I won't want to be carrying N50million on my person in these recession times! I would rather transfer via internet.

MODIFIED

From the CBN website...

Why the Cash Policy?

The new cash policy was introduced for a number of key reasons, including:

To drive development and modernization of our payment system in line with Nigeria�s vision 2020 goal of being amongst the top 20 economies by the year 2020. An efficient and modern payment system is positively correlated with economic development, and is a key enabler for economic growth.

To reduce the cost of banking services (including cost of credit) and drive financial inclusion by providing more efficient transaction options and greater reach.

To improve the effectiveness of monetary policy in managing inflation and driving economic growth.



In addition, the cash policy aims to curb some of the negative consequences associated with the high usage of physical cash in the economy, including:

[b]High cost of cash: There is a high cost of cash along the value chain - from the CBN & the banks, to corporations and traders; everyone bears the high costs associated with volume cash handling.

High risk of using cash: Cash encourages robberies and other cash-related crimes. It also can lead to financial loss in the case of fire and flooding incidents.

High subsidy: CBN analysis showed that only 10percent of daily banking transactions are above 150k, but the 10percent account for majority of the high value transactions. This suggests that the entire banking population subsidizes the costs that the tiny minority 10percent incur in terms of high cash usage.

Informal Economy: High cash usage results in a lot of money outside the formal economy, thus limiting the effectiveness of monetary policy in managing inflation and encouraging economic growth.

Inefficiency & Corruption: High cash usage enables corruption, leakages and money laundering, amongst other cash-related fraudulent activities.
