Data released by the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement Systems (NIBSS) has revealed that transactions worth N32.8 trillion were performed electronically in September through the NIBSS Instant Payment platform (NIP). This brings the total value of e-payment deals in the last 9 months to N271.5 trillion 

Year on year, the e-payment value increased by 39.5% compared with the N23.5 trillion recorded in September last year. The September 2022 figure was, however, a 1.2% decline compared with the value of electronic payment transactions recorded in the country in August, which stood at N33.2 trillion.   

The surge in electronic transactions shows that more Nigerians are embracing the cashless policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
