How To Withdraw Above CBN Cash Limits

How To Withdraw Above CBN Cash Limits

Recall that in an effort to promote digital payments, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) placed restrictions on the amount of cash that individuals and corporate entities could withdraw from ATMs each week.

The maximum amount of cash that can be withdrawn each week, according to a circular from the bank, is N100,000 for individual customers and N500,000 for corporate clients.

However, those who intend to take more than that must be ready to part with a 5 per cent processing fee for individuals and a 10 per cent fee for corporates.

The daily maximum withdrawals from a point of sale (PoS) terminal were also set at N20,000 by the apex bank.

On January 9, 2023, the new rule will come into force.

Brand Spur Nigeria understands that its goal is to increase the number of transactions conducted electronically while reducing the amount of physical cash that is used in the economy.

This is not going down well with Nigerians, both bank users and POS operators, who believe it is almost the end of the road for them.

The CBN has said it came up with this policy to increase the use of digital financial transactions, which it believes Nigerians are not embracing despite efforts to encourage them.

Despite this hurdle to cash withdrawals, Nigerians can still withdraw more than the CBN cash limits, only that they must fulfil some requirements listed below.

To take more than the N100,000 and N500,000 caps, a customer must provide a valid means of identification like a national ID, international passport, driver’s license, or permanent voter’s card (PVC).

In addition, the customer would have to provide his/her Bank Verification Number (BVN) and a notarized declaration of the purpose of the cash withdrawal.

Finally, the customer would have to submit written approval from the company’s Managing Director for corporate drawee.

When all these are provided, the bank will process them and obtain the approval of the chief executive for the money to be released to the customer.
