The circular had also stipulated that all funded accounts or wallets must be placed on “Post No Debit or Credit” status, with no further transactions allowed until compliance is achieved.

Also, the electronic revalidation of BVN or NIN associated with all accounts and wallets by January 31, 2024 was required.

As a result, all unfunded accounts or wallets would be henceforth be subjected to a “Post no debit or credit” status until the necessary linkage processes were successfully completed.
