The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has sanctioned Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) for failing to make Naira notes available through automated teller machines (ATMs) during the Yuletide season.

Each bank was fined N150 million for non-compliance, which was in line with the CBN’s cash distribution guidelines, following spot checks on their branches. The enforcement action follows repeated warnings from the CBN to financial institutions to guarantee seamless cash availability, particularly during periods of high demand.

The affected banks include Fidelity Bank Plc, First Bank Plc, Keystone Bank Plc, Union Bank Plc, Globus Bank Plc, Providus Bank Plc, Zenith Bank Plc, United Bank for Africa Plc, and Sterling Bank Plc.

Vanguard reports that communication with the banks revealed that the fines would be debited directly from their accounts with the apex bank.

The CBN’s Acting Director of Corporate Communications, Mrs. Hakama Sidi Ali, confirmed the development, noting that “ensuring seamless cash flow is paramount to maintaining public trust and economic stability.

“The CBN will not hesitate to impose further sanctions on any institution found violating its cash circulation guidelines,” she added.

The CBN’s investigations and monitoring will continue scrutinising cash hoarding and rationing at bank branches and by Point-of-Sale (POS) operators. The Central Bank is working with security agencies to crack down on illegal cash sales and operational violations, including enforcing POS operators’ daily cumulative withdrawal limit of N1.2 million.

Governor Olayemi Cardoso, in his address at the Annual Bankers’ Dinner of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) in November 2024, warned banks to adhere to cash distribution policies or face severe penalties strictly.

He underscored the CBN’s commitment to maintaining a robust cash buffer to meet Nigerians’ needs. “Our focus remains on fostering trust, ensuring stability, and guaranteeing seamless cash circulation across the financial system,” Cardoso said.

The Nigeria’s apex bank urged all financial institutions to comply with its guidelines, warning that further violations would attract swift and decisive sanctions.

“The CBN will not hesitate to impose further sanctions on any institution found violating its cash circulation guidelines,” she added.
