The United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has announced it will open on Saturday for cash deposits only to help customers transit seamlessly into the era of new naira notes.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had on Wednesday announced that N200, N500 and N1,000 notes will be redesigned and will come into circulation on December 15.
According to the CBN, the move is to get more naira notes into banks’ vaults to assist in curbing inflation.
The UBA said in a mail sent to its customers on Thursday that there will be zero charges for all cash deposits, encouraging customers to bring their money to the bank.
