Do you understand the policy or you just type without clear understanding? The government is protecting your interest and you call that wickedness, what type of human being are you?
The new policy is targeted at people that issue cheques knowing fully well that they don't have money in their account or that they will not be able to fund the account before the maturity of the cheque.
In developed countries, cheque is as good as cash because you dare not issue cheques against unfunded account but here in Nigeria, people see cheque as a professional way of rubbing business partners. They collect goods and give you cheque knowing fully well there is no money in the account. Now the bank is taking measure to prevent such unscrupulous behavior and the next thing you say is that the country is wicked......

What about those who go to ATM and couldn't continue transaction because of "insufficient fund" ?
From the article, I didn't see where they specified only cheque. Is there something I'm not getting?

In UAE, on my NBAD account never am I charged a penny for any transaction, and this is because all transactions are basically handled electronically, and my deposited fund is invested frequently giving them required profit to run the Banking Software Finacle needed for simple transaction

Why charge customers for a failed transaction when this can happen for various reasons which are not intentional



.
Don't mind that person up there defending this heartless act among so many at a time life is difficult for average Nigerians. He/she based his/her support on example of dud cheque, but didn't consider other unforseen circumstances that the financial institutions are responsible for - one being they will debit charges and not send SMS notifying one of such debit on time, hence one assuming a balance that isn't real, and most times they blame network for delay in debit SMS. Other times one has to try multiple times to effect transaction due to error messages (e.g. the famous network inoperative) only to realise one finally scaled through. It's so annoying reading people support everything dished out to Nigerians for reasons best known to them.

Insufficient funds charges

It's a global best practice to avoid giving people cheques when you have no money in your account

Richfarmer:


paid bank worker to come defend their new crimes.

you are a looser if you agree on this terms,
what if I tend to make a transfer of maybe #2 million and the transaction failed due to network error so I will be charged 20k for it since they say you will be charged 1%.

this is really sad for the common man because many will cry!

this is unnecessary at this time.
what banks need now is to even increase the interest rate been given to individuals on a monthly basis that's even if they give any

stop been ignorant and face the truth that the masses are crying bro!

Read it again to see that network problem is not one of the issues.

Why is it that anyone that doesn't agree with you guys is a paid agent?

LOL i know this will deteriorate to this level, I literally stopped using Bank Last Month, I withdrew all my money!!

What prompted me to do this, was because last month, I had no money in my account, So I saved up #2,000, and to my greatest surprise I received credit alert which says, "#1,950 has been deposited to your account, #50 was deducted!!!! I was like WTF??


A couple of days later, I went to withdraw #1000, and then again, #50 was deducted from my account, So this people literally bill me for every transaction I make!!


What kind of exploitation is that?? This country Is so fùçkēd up, Since Crude oil is becoming worthless now, Government are looking for ways to Exploit the citizens by all means to further continue their Looting!!


I will rather buy a piggy bank and saved up my money in there!!

Please where did you read 'cheque' that you are basing your argument/support on issuance of dud cheques?
Issuing dud cheque is criminal offence already.
PS: The platform is electronically programmed.
If this is the case banks and other financial institutions should be made to compensate customers and pay fine to CBN for every failed transaction that is caused by system failure or network e.g. switch or network inoperative issues.

How is the country wicked for this?

Shouldn't a dud cheque or a failed transaction come with charges or a penalty? What of the charges incurred by those two processed it? Who will pay?

If you don't have enough balance in your account, don't issue a standing order or direct debit, or cancel the one you have issued.

It is irresponsible to issue or sustain a direct debit on unfunded accounts. It's also criminal if it's for a service that you have already enjoyed.

On this one, I don't see why Nigeria is a wicked country as you have said unless you're willing to educate me on it.
I concur, don't initiate direct debit if you can't fund it.

PS712:

Cheque you said, not electronically programmed transactions. Please.

It's the same thing. Authorizations called ACHs are an electronic permission to debit your account. A cheque is simply a physical instrument that serves the same function an ACH does electronically. Infact in less fraudulence prone systems you don't need the physical cheque anymore, just the details or snapshot.

One of the reasons why people should go to school.
If you don't have money why initiate a direct debit.

If you are not fraudulent, why instruct a standing order when there is no cash
