However, according to the latest circular to financial and non-financial institutions, CBN said the processing fees have been suspended.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Central Bank of Nigeria hereby extends the suspension of the processing fees of 2 per cent and 3 per cent previously charged on all cash deposits above these thresholds until September 30, 2024,\u201d the circular reads.<\/p>\n
The development comes as money outside the banking system rose by 10.67 per cent to N3.63 trillion in March 2024.<\/p>\n
