Cardoso disclosed this in a communiqué from Tuesday’s Monetary Policy Committee meeting in Abuja.

He noted that CBN is not against fintechs.

His reaction comes weeks after the bank restricted OPay, Palmpay, Kuda Bank and Moniepoint from onboarding new customers over allegations of accounts being used for illicit foreign exchange transactions.

Cardoso stressed the need for CBN to strengthen financial regulations to check against leakages.

“CBN is not against fintechs and has not revoked the license of any fintech organization. However, he stressed the need to strengthen regulation in the sector to check against leakages”, he said.

He added, “It’s our responsibility to ensure it (the banking system) remains sound, safe, and fit for purpose.”

DAILY POST reports that CBN raised the interest rate to 26.25 per cent from 24.75 in March to tackle inflation, which soared to 33.69 per cent in April.
