The regulatory framework, effective since November 27, 2025, aims to enhance transparency and structure within the forex market.
The CBN revoked licenses of non-compliant BDCs, requiring them to reapply online within six months. Tier 1 BDCs must maintain a minimum capital base of N2 billion, while Tier 2 BDCs need N500 million.
The CBN's efforts seek to stabilize the forex market and protect Nigerians from illegal operators.
