He encouraged farmer associations to embrace the financial institution’s e-Naira policy.

Samuel, who spoke on the rights and responsibilities of financial consumers, particularly in chosen banks’ products, resolving failed bank transactions and disclosure of details, noted: “It is within your right to receive transaction history on your mail to know how much you’re being charged. This will allow you to know that you’re not shortchanged and cheated. Financial consumers must know that they have the right to report their banks to the CBN over unresolved failed transactions.
