As part of measures to promote a cashless economy and enhance the collection of applicable government revenues, the CBN also announced a review of the process for merchant settlement by bank customers.<\/p>\n

With the review, which takes effect from Tuesday September 17, the CBN said it gave approval for banks to unbundle merchant settlement amounts and charge applicable taxes and duties on individual transactions as stipulated by regulations.<\/p>\n

The CBN announced a downward review of the Merchant Service Charge (MSC) from 0.75 percent capped at N1,200 to 0.50 percent capped at N1,000.<\/p>\n

The nationwide implementation of cashless policy will take effect from March 31, 2020, it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
