Full List of Over 170 Microfinance Banks and Finance Companies Licenses Revoked CBN.

CBN has revoked the licenses of over 180 microfinance, mortgage banks, and finance companies.

Customers who might have money deposited in the banks are expected to withdraw their money

The revocation of licenses results from various issues, such as insolvency, inactivity, and failure to render returns, among others.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has revoked the licenses of 179 microfinance banks, four primary mortgage banks, and three finance companies nationwide.

The announcement was made in the official gazette of the Federal Government, which was published on the CBN’s website on Tuesday, May 23, 2023.

Why the banks’ licenses were revoked

According to the gazette, these financial institutions had their licenses revoked due to several reasons.

Firstly, they had ceased to conduct business in Nigeria for six months, contrary to the purpose for which their licenses were granted.

Secondly, they failed to fulfill or comply with the conditions set forth when their licenses were issued.

Lastly, they did not meet the obligations imposed upon them by the CBN in accordance with the provisions of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020, Act No. 5.
