10 Feb 2016 This Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) & its
leadership is ruining the cashless policy campaign they initiated. You want a
cashless economy but you
1.
Put extreme daily withdrawal limit on account and
that affects businesses so some prefer not to take the money to the banks
2.
Make us pay for ATM cards that are free in some
countries.
3.
Charge N100 card maintenance fee for card that is in the customer’s hand.
4.
Charge COT on all transactions.
5.
Charge N50 naira stamp duty on all transactions
now. No one understands the essence of this. You get a mail from your bank and
implementation takes effect immediately! Who does that, except in Nigeria? And,
there are no consequences!
6.
Charge N65 naira when you use other banks’ ATM 3
times. This charge was reversed by former CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who is now
Emir of Kano but has now been reintroduced. The
removal of this charge made people use any ATM they found and that reduced
queues and the possibility of being robbed at ATM points. When for example, you
need to draw N1000 and you have used other banks’ ATM twice before, you may not
be able to make the third withdrawal because N65 has to be charged, except you
get to your bank’s ATM.
The people who are unbanked – have no banking activity
whatsoever – are the people the CBN claims it wants to bring into the system
with mobile money. Yet, you are forgetting that illiteracy is not the only
reason people didn’t bank. Arbitrary charges are major causes and millions of
accounts are going dormant by the day.
Dear CBN, please take a cue from Kenya’s implantation of
mobile money where even a market woman transacts business with you without
cash.
Learn to consult and orient before ‘instructing banks’ and ‘directing’
immediate implementation of unfriendly laws.
If you refuse to listen, we will, in a manner you can’t imagine,
show you that customer is king.

Another interesting article on this 'NO BANKING DAY' click here , Well in all fairness Mr Fola Daniel Adelesi has said it all, and to me i personally feel its little things like this that we refuse to pay attention to that leads to most economic problems we are faced with today, too many educated people yet we still fail to realize the essence of UNITY and the strength it conveys. I trust myself i won't be entering any bank on
that day or doing any transactions and you reading this can also do the same, it shouldn't be hard when your broke ? lols at-least
let all this bankers too relax on that day, what do you think guys ? ...
