ASHENEWS reports that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has revised the cash withdrawal limit.
The Nigeria’s apex bank had earlier this month announced N100,000 and N500,000 per week for individuals and corporate organizations, respectively.

“Following our circular BSD/DIR/PUB/LAB/015/069 dated December 6, 2022 on the above subject and based on feedback received from stakeholders, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) hereby makes the following reviews:
“1. The maximum weekly limit for cash withdrawal across all channels by individuals and corporate organizations shall be #500,000.00 and N5,000,000.00 respectively.
“2. In compelling circumstances where cash withdrawal above the limits in (1) above is required for legitimate purposes, such requests shall be subject to a processing fee of 3% and 5% for individuals and corporate organizations, respectively.
“3. Further to (2) above, the financial institution shall obtain the following information from the customer, at the minimum, and upload same on the CBN.”
