“Which will make it very difficult for any cybercriminal to break and penetrate into customers accounts.
He said, “E-Naira is the Digital representation with the equivalent of the physical Naira, the only difference is that, while one is physical, the other one is virtual.’’
He also explained the mode of payment in respect of e-Naira.
We have cash payment, electronic payment and now added digital payments, all aimed at reducing hardship faced by bank customers at the point of transactions with their bank or other banks.
“The beauty of the e-Naira is that it is instant, immediate, and the cost is very low as well.
“That is why when we are talking of the e-Naira, we say it’s the same Naira with possessing power and possibilities,” Nwanisobi said.
” The e-Naira will solve the problems facing financial institutions, cross border issues, relationships with the diaspora, and taxation.
