  1. Microfinance Banks (MFBs): Coverage for MFBs has risen from N200,000 to N2,000,000, aiming to protect 99.27% of depositors, compared to 98.76% under the previous limits.

 

  1. Primary Mortgage Banks (PMBs): The coverage has been increased from N500,000 to N2,000,000, ensuring 99.34% of depositors are fully covered, up from 97.98%.

 

  1. Payment Service Banks (PSBs): Coverage has been adjusted from N500,000 to N2,000,000, covering nearly all depositors at 99.99%.
