Point-of-Sale (PoS) operators across Nigeria have raised their withdrawal fees, charging between ₦150 to ₦200 for every ₦5,000 transaction, up from the previous rate of ₦100.
The operators attribute this increase to the ₦50 Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) imposed by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) on financial technology (fintech) companies.
In September, fintech firms announced their intention to apply the ₦50 levy on transactions of ₦10,000 and above, citing compliance with FIRS regulations.
This levy is a one-time charge on electronic transfers or receipts of ₦10,000 or more into both personal and business accounts via any commercial bank or financial institution.
The federal government officially enforced the policy on December 1, compelling major fintech platforms like OPay, Moniepoint, Kuda, and others to implement the charge.
Why the Hike in PoS Charges?
Speaking to TheCable, Sarafadeen Fasasi, National President of the Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents in Nigeria (AMMBAN), confirmed that the levy had triggered an adjustment in PoS transaction fees.
“Yes, it is because of the electronic levy. We have to transfer the cost of the charges being imposed. It started immediately after FIRS implemented the directive for the ₦50 charge,” Fasasi explained.
