Banks to stop charging N100 for Inter-bank ATM withdrawals

                                  
The Banker’s Committee on Tuesday in Abuja unanimously agreed to stop interbank ATM charge of N100.
Briefing journalists at the end of the committee’s meeting in Abuja, the Managing Director of First Bank, Bisi Onasanya, said the decision was in line with “popular trends” in other parts of the world.
“Presently when you use the ATM of a bank other than your bank, there is a charge of N100 which is borne by the account holder.
“We have decided that we will work out the modality and ensure that with immediate effect we would pass on this cost to the respective banks which bear the cost of providing services.
“No matter where you are withdrawing your money from, you will not be subjected to any charge for using the ATM.
According to him, the new policy does not cover withdrawals inside the banking hall when the ATMs are off.
