CBN Introduces N100 Fee on on-site ATM Withdrawal

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has approved new charges on Automated Teller Machine (ATM) services, which will commence from March 1st, 2025.
In a circular signed by John Onojah, the acting director of the Financial Policy and Regulation Department, the CBN said that the fee adjustment aims to address the rising operational costs and enhance efficiency within the banking sector.
The new policy resulted in hiking costs for certain ATM transactions, the CBN highlighted that it aligns with Section 10.7 of the CBN Guide to Charges by Banks, Other Financial and Non-bank Financial Institutions (2020).
The last time the ATM transaction fees were revised was in 2019 when the CBN reduced withdrawal fees from ₦65 to ₦35.
Under the new structure, customers making withdrawals from their own bank’s ATMs will still enjoy free withdrawals.
However, a charge of N100 will be charged for every N20,000 withdrawal at on-site ATMs, which are located within the bank’s branches.
For withdrawals at ATMs of other banks (off-site or not-on-us transactions), customers will be charged a ₦100 fee plus a surcharge of up to ₦450 per ₦20,000 withdrawal.
In the case of international withdrawals using debit or credit cards, the CBN now allows banks and financial institutions to apply a “cost-recovery charge” equivalent to the exact amount charged by the international acquirer.
Furthermore, the previous benefit of three free monthly withdrawals for remote-on-us transactions (customers of other banks) will no longer apply.
The CBN has charged all financial institutions to comply with the new directives ahead of the implementation date, emphasizing that the revised fees aim to improve the efficiency of ATM services and ensure that appropriate charges are applied to consumers.
