The five top-tier Nigerian banks usually referred to as FUGAZ raked in a total of N85.5 billion from account maintenance charges between January and September 2022.

This is according to a compilation by Nairalytics, the research arm of Nairametrics, extracted from the financial statements of the FUGAZ banks.

The banks — Access, GTB, First Bank, UBA, and Zenith — increased their account maintenance income in the period under review by 18.3% compared to N72.29 billion recorded in the same period last year.

A further breakdown shows that the five banks generated N28.57 billion in Q3 2022 alone, a 17.2% increase compared to N24.38 billion made in the corresponding period of 2021.

What banks charge on: According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the account maintenance fee is imposed only on current accounts following customer-induced debit transactions to third parties. Debit transfers/lodgments to the customer’s account in another bank also attract the same fee.

  • Nigerian banks are allowed to charge their customers a “negotiable” N1 per mille. In other words, the banks can charge N1 per N1,000 debit transactions on the current account.
  • These charges come in the form of COT (i.e., Commission on Turnover) which is a charge levied on customer withdrawals by their banks.
  • Meanwhile, the banks made a sum of N649.2 billion as post-tax profit in the nine months, outperforming its previous year’s N557.6 billion profit by 16.4%.
  • Below is a list of account maintenance revenue of the banks.

Zenith Bank – N28.15 billion

Zenith Bank topped the list with a total income of N28.15 billion from account maintenance charges between January and September 2022, a 16.4% increase from the N24.19 billion recorded in the corresponding period of last year.

  • In the third quarter of the year, the bank made N8.38 billion from account maintenance, in contrast to the N8.28 billion generated in the same period of 2021.
  • Zenith Bank also posted a profit after tax of N111.41 billion in nine-month 2022, representing a 5% increase compared to N106.12 billion printed in the corresponding period of 2021.
