CBN stops N100 Inter-Bank ATM charges nationwide

Managing Directors of banks operating in the country, with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under the aegis of the Bankers' Committee have unanimously abolished all charges on Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) transactions in a bid to encourage more patronage, particularly from the mass unbanked population in the country. The new development means that the N100 currently charged by banks when customers use their ATM cards on machines other than those of their banks would no longer be charged going forward. Managing Director, First Bank of Nigeria Plc Mr Bisi Onasanya, Managing Director of Union Bank Plc, Mr Emeka Emuwa, Acting Managing Director, Keystone Bank, Dr Shehu Mohammed and CBN Director, Banking Supervision, Mrs Agnes Olatokunbo Martins, who briefed the media at the end of their meeting on Tuesday in Abuja explained that the decision was taken to align with the practice in other parts of the world as well as to promote the financial inclusion strategy and Cashless Lagos Policy of the apex bank. Mr. Onasanya said: "We have decided at the bankers' committee to stop forthwith charges for usage of ATMs. Presently, when you use the ATM of a bank other than your bank, there is a charge of a N100 which is borne by the account holder. We have decided that we will work out the modalities and with immediate effect pass on this cost to the respective banks. We will bear the cost of providing services so that no matter where you are withdrawing your money from you will not incur any charge. If you are a First Bank customer and use your ATM on other banks, it is free, you will no longer bear any cost.

JAMB/UTME Begins 2013/2014 Registration

Registration for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME 2013/2014 admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria has started. JAMB UTME scratch card for accessing the e-registration portal for JAMB UTME 2013 is now available at designated banks, NIPOST offices and JAMB offices nationwide. The date for JAMB UTME exam 2013 has not been fixed yet by the board. JAMB/UTME e-registration portal is at www.jamb.org.ng/Unifiedtme2013/. To access the JAMB/UTME portal for e-registration, you need a scratch card which is being sold for N4,000 at designated banks, Post offices and JAMB offices nationwide. The JAMB UTME Scratch card contains a serial number and your PIN, two vital information you require for your UTME e-registration. UTME 2013 registration will also require a finger print scanner like in 2012. However, registration can only be done at accredited centres. Returning JAMB UTME 2012 candidates may not require fingerprint scanner, since their fingerprint is already in JAMB’s database, but they may need to provide their JAMB 2012 registration numbers. JAMB has maintained the same process used in 2011 and 2012 UTME registration for 2013. JAMB/UTME 2013 registration, like in 2012, will require a biometric fingerprint scanner. The biometric scanner (finger print reader) will be used to capture the left and right thumbs of the candidates. Candidates are advised to make sure an approved fingerprint reader is available on the computer they intend using for their JAMB UTME 2013 registration as their finger print (left and right thumb) will be read before they can sign-up for a UTME account, which is the first step in the registration process. Also like in 2012, JAMB UTME 2012 registration must be done on a computer with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. This is because the application that runs the Jamb UTME registration portal is based on Java programming language. Minimum of JRE 1.6 is required. Java JRE can be downloaded free on the internet, if it is not already on your system (about 10MB). Make sure to read the instructions at the registration website before commencing your registration. The JAMB UTME 2013 Brochure is built-into the portal making it easy to search for details of your Jamb UTME courses of choice.
