Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, President, Association of Bureau De
Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON), said there was need for a review of the
distribution mechanism.
“Many banks are selling to only clients with current
accounts and not to savings account holders and there is also increasing demand
for forex from our neighbouring countries.
“The different applicable exchange rates and volumes with
Travelex and banks need to be harmonised and with that of BDCs to reduce
friction,” Gwadabe said.
