The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has announced a new policy requiring deposit money banks and other financial institutions to ensure that individuals and corporate entities do not withdraw more than N100,000 and N500,000 per week, respectively.


The revised cash withdrawal limit, was revealed in a circular issued today by the central bank, will be implemented nationwide on January 9, 2023.

The summary of CBN New Currency Policy Effective January 9, 2023, is as follows:

Daily ATM withdrawal: #20,000

Daily POS Withdrawal: #20,000

Above #20,000: Must be done electronically

Weekly Withdrawal Limit: #100,000

Highest Denomination to be dispensed by ATM: #200 notes.
