In a game-changing move, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has made a bold decision to suspend the 2% and 3% processing fees previously levied on cash deposits exceeding specific limits. Effective immediately, this groundbreaking initiative will last until April 30, 2024, as announced in an official circular signed by Adetona Adedeji, the acting director of Banking Supervision.

The circular unequivocally directs all financial institutions under CBN regulation to welcome public cash deposits without any associated charges during this period.
