ATMs accounts for over 80% in e-payment transactions. However, cash withdrawal and bank enquiries are the most common transactions performed.

The level of inter-operability among payment providers and users have increased. With the scrap of the N100 interbank charges, the use of ATM machines have become acceptable by many.

According to CBN, the number of deployed and active PoS terminals grew from 5,557 as at January, 2012 to over 104,858 by October, 2012 with over 176, 604 being registered.

Understanding Credit Risk

Understanding Credit Risk using a simple credit cycle.

Credit risk arises due to moral hazards and adverse selection.

For banks in general, loans are the largest and most obvious source of credit risk;. However, there can be other sources of credit risk through the activities of a bank. Banks increasingly face risk in various financial instruments such as interbank transactions, trade financing, foreign exchange transactions, financial futures, swaps, bonds, equities, options, extension of commitments and guarantees, and the settlement of transactions.

18

Laying the Foundation for Risk Management

Collaboration among key risk management players.

Establishment of an appropriate credit risk environment and culture.

Operating under a sound credit-granting process.

Maintenance of an appropriate credit administration, measurement and monitoring process.

Ensuring adequate controls over credit risk and adopting a sound internal lending policy.

Credit Bureaus in Nigeria

Credit bureaus, also known as credit information services, credit registries, credit reporting agencies or consumer credit reference agencies are organizations that are well established in advanced economies. The bureau compiles information on individuals and corporate organization. These include information on credit repayment records, court judgment and bankruptcies and then creates a comprehensive reports that is sold to business users in form of credit reports, credit scores and other products.
