NDIC permanently down shuts down 89 banks in Nigeria - See the full list of affected insitutions

The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) confirmed on Wednesday that it is concluding the liquidation of 89 failed microfinance and primary mortgage banks.  

These are not temporary closures. These banks will never operate again under their former identities. However, they have been acquired by new owners.

The affected institutions were part of a larger group of banks (179 MFBs and 4 PMBs) whose licences were revoked by the Central Bank of Nigeria in May 2023 due to regulatory and financial issues. 

To protect depositors and maintain stability, new investors took over assets and liabilities, and fresh licenses were issued to new institutions.

Banking operations have already resumed, but entirely under new names.

According to the NDIC, depositors were protected through the ‘Purchase and Assumption’ agreements. This means that new banks took over deposits and operations. 

Customers should now be dealing with the new institutions, not the old ones 

If you (or someone you know) had money in any of these banks, the NDIC advises affected depositors to do the following:

• Verify their claims immediately

• Submit required documentation

• Follow up on any unpaid balances

Once liquidation is fully concluded, recovering funds becomes significantly harder.
