The maximum cash withdrawal over the<br \/>\ncounter (OTC) by individuals and corporate<br \/>\norganizations per week shall henceforth be<br \/>\nN100,000 and N500,000 respectively.<br \/>\nWithdrawals above these limits shall attract<br \/>\nprocessing fees of 5% and 10%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>2. Third party cheques above N50,000 shall not<br \/>\nbe eligible for payment over the counter, while<br \/>\nextant limits of N10,000,000 on clearing<br \/>\ncheques still subsist.<\/p>\n<p>3.
