Central Bank of Nigeria Insists On Bank-Led Mobile Banking
Monday, December 12, 2016
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has reaffirmed its preference for a bank-led digital financial services rather than what is obtained in other climes where telecommunications companies are the major providers of such services.
Godwin Emefiele, the CBN Governor, disclosed the position of the apex bank, while responding to questions at a one-day summit on realising the potentials of digital financial services in Nigeria organised by Businessday in Lagos yesterday.
He said: “Every environment poses its own challenge. If we rely on the telcos and people lose money, it could become a problem.
Emefiele explained that digital financial services could also bring about substantial benefits for financial services providers, and the economy as a whole, beyond financial inclusion, and boost a country’s GDP significantly and more sustainably.
