“Like we said, depending on your location, you can also step it down for people depending on the circumstances. But it should not go more than this.”
He further stated that for deposits and transfers, agents can now charge N100 for N1,000 to N4,900; N200 for N5000 to N10,900; N300 for N11,000 to N20,900; N400 got N21,000 to N30,900; N500 for N31,000 to N40,000; and N600 for N41,100 to N50,000.
Adeoye said the chairman of the Lagos chapter of the association, David Abiodun, recently released the new price list to excos at a symposium.
He explained the list was to curb the activities of agents that ate still overcharging their customers.
According to him: “Although, we agreed that depending on one’s area, they can lower the charges. But it should exceed these new charges. This is why we expect everyone to paste it in their locations so that customers can see it.
“To enforce this new price list is easy because we have a good relationship with the Lagos State Command, Police Force, and all the DPOs in the area. Very soon a task force will be set up in each zone so that they will work along with it.”
