The Central Bank of Nigeria has re-
introduced ATM charges for cash
withdrawals made on other banks’
Automated Teller Machines. In a circular
dated August 13rd 2014 and signed by the
Director, Banking and Payment Systems
Department, CBN, Mr. Dipo Fatokun , the re-
introduced ATM deduction pegged at N65
per withdraw would take effect from
September 1st 2014.
The circular states that the first three
withdrawals in the month of September on
other banks ATM would be free but the
charges would start counting from the fourth
withdrawal. Read parts of the circular after
the cut...
"The CBN hereby issues the following
directives: The re-introduction of
‘Remote-on-us’ ATM cash withdrawal
transaction fee, which will now be N65
per transaction, to cover the
remuneration of switches, ATM
monitoring and fit-notes processing by
acquiring banks; the new charge shall
apply as from the fourth ‘Remote-on-us’
withdrawal (in a month) by a
cardholder, thereby making the first
three ‘Remote on us’ transaction free
for the cardholder, but to the paid by
the issuing bank. September 1, 2014
shall be the effective date for the
implementation of the new charge;
banks are expected to conduct adequate
sensitisation to the customers on the
introduction of the new fee; all ATM
cash withdrawals on the ATM of issuing
banks shall be at no cost to the
cardholder.” it read
This reintroduction of ATM withdrawal
charges comes almost 2 years after the CBN
and the Deposit Money Banks cancelled the
N100 ATM charges in December 2012.

The apex court had last week ruled that the old notes are still legal tenders till December 31st 2023.
