CBN Sets 100,000 Naira Daily Withdrawal Limit for PoS Operators, Introduces Other Guidelines

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has set a daily withdrawal limit of 100,000 Naira per customer on point-of-sale (PoS) terminals as part of its ongoing efforts to advance a cashless economy.

This new restriction was announced in a circular titled “Cash-out limits for agent banking transactions,” directed to all deposit money banks (DMBs), microfinance banks, mobile money operators, and super-agents.

The CBN explained that the measure is intended to address operational challenges, reduce fraud, and establish uniform standards across the industry.

According to the circular, the CBN has outlined several key directives that all agents must follow. Firstly, issuers are required to set a cash withdrawal limit of N500,000 per customer per week, regardless of the transaction channel.

In addition, agent banking terminals must be configured with a daily maximum transaction cash-out limit of N100,000 per customer, and the cumulative daily cash-out for each agent cannot exceed N1,200,000.

The CBN further instructed that “agent banking services are clearly demarcated from merchant activities and that agents apply the approved Agent Code 6010 for agent banking activities.
