ABUJA: Nigerian regulators have set a flat fee for financial transactions done via mobile phones, replacing a billing system that caused disagreements between telecoms firms and lenders.

The Nigerian Communications Commission<\/a> and central bank said on Tuesday they had agreed a flat fee of 6.98 naira ($0.0183) per transaction to ensure financial inclusion and lower costs.

Nigeria wants to open up its digital financial services sector, which will help millions of Nigerians who do not have bank accounts. But regulation has been caught up with intense lobbying from lenders seeking to protect their turf amid stiff competition and a rise in borrowers renegotiating loans.

The country has more than 20 lenders.

MTN Nigeria, majority-owned by South Africa's MTN Group, runs Nigeria's biggest mobile phone network, serving around 76.5 million people.

A quick code, or unstructured supplementary service data (USSD), sent by mobile phone for transaction is critical for delivering services to Nigeria's underbanked population in a cost effective manner, the regulators said in a statement.

But disputes over fees and who is responsible for paying has often led mobile phone operators to withdraw services.

The regulators said payments to mobile operators for providing the USSD service would be billed to bank customers and that lenders would not impose additional charges.

They did not disclose how much money was owed to mobile operators for the service under the old system, but said a settlement plan was being worked out.

Mobile operators had threatened to suspend lenders from using the quick code service.

尼日利亚阿布贾:监管机构设定一个固定费用为金融交易通过手机,更换计费系统,导致电信公司和银行之间的分歧。

尼日利亚通信委员会和央行周二表示,他们已经同意6.98奈拉(约合0.0183美元)的固定费用每个事务,以确保金融包容性和更低的成本。

尼日利亚希望数字金融服务业开放,这将帮助数以百万计的尼日利亚人没有银行账户。但监管已经从银行赶上游说试图保护自己的地盘在激烈竞争和借款人重新贷款。
