BREAKING: CBN stops issuance of new licenses to BDCs

Published

on

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has said it will henceforth stop the licensing of new Bureau De Change (BDC) operators across the country.

This might not be unconnected with the huge number of applications that the apex bank receives monthly and the reported illegal activities of some of the forex dealers.

Emefiele said that the CBN receives about 574 license applications from BDCs every month adding that there are currently 5,500 licensed BDC operators across the country.
