In a foreword to the report, written by Adebayo Adelabu, Deputy Governor, Operations, the bank said the effort was aimed at addressing incidents of fraud and other unethical practices, to engender public confidence in the financial system.

It explained that the Watch-list is a database of bank customers involved in confirmed fraudulent activities in the financial services industry.

Also, “the Treasury Single Account, TSA, payments gateway was modified with the introduction of the Aggregator model, to accommodate other key service providers for efficient service delivery and engender competition,” the report indicated.

Similarly, the CBN, in collaboration with its stakeholders commenced the process of ascertaining appropriate pricing for the TSA structure for both payments and e-collection segments.

According to the Deputy Governor, there had been tremendous adoption and usage of electronic payments channels by the banking public. The Electronic Payments Incentive Scheme (EPIS) was sustained during the year with the conduct of Electronic Payments Efficiency Award in February, 2017.
