Responding to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) announcement that new naira notes will be designed and issued beginning December 15, 2022, Nigeria’s leading financial institution, Access Bank, has urged its customers to use its alternative channels to deposit their existing naira notes to beat the rush before the new ones are issued on December 15, 2022.
Access Bank stated in a recent message sent to customers over the weekend via multiple channels that “there is no need to panic as we are closer to you than you think.” With over 600 branches, more than 150,000 Access Bank CLOSA agents and deposit ATMs across our branches, and over 500 BETA agents present in over 180 major markets in Nigeria to receive cash from customers, we are just a phone call away.
Our customers can easily deposit their existing Naira notes through any of these channels that are convenient for them.
For your convenience, our branches will be open later during the week and on Saturdays, beginning at 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., to accept cash deposits
With over 160,000 Access Closa Agents currently spread across the country’s 774 Local Government Areas, you can easily deposit your existing naira notes through an agent near you in your location to avoid the risk of transporting cash to a far distance to locate a branch.
