More about the service charter
The service charter is a document that describes the process for addressing service failure in the CBN's services. The document also entails a standard customer complaints form for reporting such incidents.
Also, the charter enables the bank to follow SERVICOM Nigeria's guidelines for enhancing customer service delivery.
In addition to outlining what the apex bank expects from its external customers, the 34-page document guarantees how it will collaborate with them to accomplish its service objectives.
The bank's mandates, vision, mission, and basic values are spelt out in detail in this document.
It includes a list of the services the bank provides through its several departments and the service requirements for each.
The Business Facilitation Act (BFA) 2022 mandates the service charter to promote business facilitation in Nigeria.
The CBN governor reaffirmed the bank's dedication to delivering high-quality services efficiently, transparently, and responsibly to promote more responsive and citizen-friendly governance.
The apex bank recently mandated commercial and merchant banks to start debiting various loan defaulters.

The apex bank said in a circular signed by its Director of Payment System Management Department, Chibuzo Efomi, and the Director of Financial Policy and Regulation Department, outlined the implementation of the new policy.
The CBN directed banks that, effective immediately, new Tier -1 accounts or wallets can only be opened with BVN or NIN.
