NPSMC Is Not Listed Among The Four Companies CBN Lists To Print Checks

Except for Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Company PLC, four indigenous companies have received approval from the Central Bank of Nigeria to print checks.

This was contained in a circular issued by the apex bank over the weekend.

Superflux International Limited, Tripple Gee and Company, Yaliam Press Limited, and Marvelous Mike Press are among the companies listed in the circular, which was signed by Sam Okojere, the director of the Banking Services Department.

According to the CBN, "The re-accreditation of Cheques Printers and Cheque Personalisers is in line with the NICPAS qualification criteria."

The circular further stated that seven institutions, including Zenith Bank Plc, Ecobank Plc, First Bank Ltd, Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc, Keystone Bank Ltd, Providus Bank Ltd, and Wema Bank Plc, were authorized to personalize checks.

All authorized printers and personalizers, it was said, had been adequately informed and certificates had been issued.

In a letter with reference number BPS/DIR/GEN/CIR/02/033, the Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Company Plc and Euphoria Group Limited were accredited and approved on Thursday, December 4, 2014.

The only printer of the N200, N500, and N1000 new naira notes is NPSMC.
