The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) has begun the process of paying depositors in 3 failed micro-finance banks.

The NDIC will between May 9 and May 20, begin the claims verification of depositors of the three Micro-finance Banks (MFBs) whose licenses were withdrawn by the Central Bank of Nigeria. The NDIC announced this on its official Twitter account and website.

Gufax MFB and Sapphire MFB, both in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, and ICB MFB, in Asaba, Delta State, were among the banks identified by the NDIC.

What the NDIC is saying

The Corporation urged affected depositors to go to the closed banks’ addresses and meet with NDIC personnel to get their claims verified.

NDIC said, “We, therefore, advise that all depositors of these banks should visit the closed banks’ addresses and meet with NDIC officials for the verification of their claims, commencing from Monday, 9th May 2022 till Friday, 20th May 2022.”

The NDIC also advised eligible depositors to visit www.ndic.gov.ng/claims/ to download and complete the claims form.

It stated that completed forms should be forwarded to claimscomplaints@ndic.gov.ng, along with scanned copies of supporting documentation.

”NDIC, the official liquidator of the underlisted defunct Microfinance Banks (MFBs) whose licences were revoked, is in the process of paying insured depositors.

”Depositors of ICB MFB should come forward for verification and payment of their insured deposits at the premises of the closed bank from May 9 to 20, 2022,” the Corporation said.

    I want to advise that when publishing names of banks kindly use the full names and locations to avoid mix up.
    a case senerio is ICB mfb delta and IC-Global mfb delta.
    flashing undetailed names in news might cause a run in the sector. thanks
