Is Your PoS Terminal on the 2026 Seizure List? How to Register in 24 Hours.


The January 1st Deadline Has Passed


If you operate a Moniepoint, Opay, Palmpay, or any other Point of Sale (PoS) terminal in Nigeria, you are currently in the red zone.


The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) mandated that **all PoS agents must register their businesses by January 1, 2026**.


That deadline has expired. Now, the crackdown has begun.


What is the "Seizure List"?


Security agencies, in collaboration with fintech companies, are actively sweeping markets and streets. If your terminal is not linked to a verified CAC Business Name and a Tax Identification Number (TIN):


  • **Your account will be frozen:** Fintechs have been ordered to block withdrawals for unregistered agents.
  • **Your terminal will be seized:** Law enforcement is confiscating unregistered terminals on the spot.
  • **You will lose your livelihood:** Reclaiming a seized terminal or unfreezing an account takes weeks of bureaucratic nightmare.

  • Don't Wait for the Taskforce


    Many agents thought this was just another empty government threat. It is not. Thousands of terminals were disconnected in the first week of February alone.


    You cannot afford to lose your business over a ₦25,000 registration fee.
