Apex Bank has also published Guidelines for Registration & Operation of Bank Neutral Cash Hubs in Nigeria, which recognizes that BNCH is a subsidiary of licensed companies (Deposit Banks) or Deposit Banks based on business interest. . .
The port should be in an area with excellent commercial and financial services; it should be an altar for customers who invest and make a profit regardless of the bank in which their account is located.
He added;
“This guide aims to provide minimum standards and requirements for BNCH registration and events for effective monitoring.”
The Central Bank also stated that the main objective of the BNCH foundation is to reduce the risk and cost to banks, customers, and senior managers affecting financial management services, deep investment, and upgrades and server services to promote costly management.
BNCH services include receiving payments in financial assistance from individuals and companies with significant financial resources, disbursing the naira in the form of financial institutions to individuals and expensive businesses, and other services that apex banks can provide.
