CARDLESS WITHDRAWAL AND POLICE IGNORANCE
You
probably may have heard how a dude, Azeez Morofu, was manhandled by a mob at
Ibadan and handed over to the police at Iyaganku Police Station. His offence?
That he withdrew money from an ATM without a debit card. Yes, and...wait, he
was wearing a dirty pair of jean trousers!
The
surprising twist to the incident was that the Police who should know, did not
know that technology has made it now possible for an individual to choose either to use their debit card or not when making withdrawals.
The
technology came into existence about two years ago or so, in the US when Wells
Fargo Bank announced that customers could then withdraw money from ATM without
using a debit card. The new technology allowed smartphone-toting customers to
withdraw money at all of its 13,000 ATMs without inserting their debit card.
Customers then were required to input a code and their ATM PIN number to access
ATM options.
Basically,
cardless cash allows you to withdraw money from an ATM without using your debit
card. Instead, you can opt to receive a unique code from your bank to your
phone (either by text message or within your mobile banking app) that you can
then use at an eligible ATM to verify your cash withdrawal.
The
technology arrived in Nigeria much later in 2017, though it is still relatively
unpopular.
As
we move to join the rest of the world in the emerging technological
dispensation, our police must also be educated so as to teach them not to
embarrass themselves the next time someone makes a cardless withdrawal at an
ATM point.
