The CBN in collaboration with Banker’s Committee had initiated the Nigerian Cash Management System (NCMS) which seeks to reduce cost and improve operational efficiency in the country’s cash management value chain.

One initiative towards the above stated goal is the introduction of Bank Neutral Cash

Hubs (BNCH). Bank Neutral Cash Hubs (BNCHs) are cash collection centers to be established by registered (licensed) processing companies or Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) based on business needs. They designed to be located in areas with high volumes of commercial activities and cash transactions. The hubs will provide a platform for customers to make cash deposits and receive value irrespective of the bank with which their account is domiciled.

This guideline aims to provide minimum standards and requirements for BNCH registration and operations for effective supervision.
