Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has announced the unveiling of a new online platform for submission of microfinance bank (MFB) licence applications, known as the CBN Licensing, Approval and Other Requests Portal (CBN LARP).

The new online platform will eventually replace the current manual process wherein prospective applicants for MFB licence physically submit their applications to the CBN. “In due course, the Bank will extend the platform to other categories of licences,” CBN director of corporate communications, Isa AbdulMumin said in a statement yesterday.

AbdulMumin said the online application system offers numerous benefits, including a simplified process, time savings, enhanced communication, and robust security measures. By digitising the application process, the apex bank said it aims to improve accessibility, reduce paperwork, and expedite licence approvals, benefiting both applicants and the economy.

The director said with effect from September 25, 2023, MFB licence applicants are required to submit both hardcopy and online applications (via the CBN LARP) as part of a parallel run. He said the cover letter submitting the hardcopy application must also note a valid application reference from the online submission to be accepted.

The parallel run will end on December 31, 2023, according to the statement. “Thereafter, manual submissions of hardcopy MFB licence applications will no longer be required and accepted.”
