through Ecobank with immediate effect on Wednesday afternoon.
And the message sent to Swift customers via its customer care lines and
electronic mails (e-mails) urged customers to take note of this development,
insisting that the use of any Ecobank instrument like cheque or bank draft may
not be accepted.
“Please be informed that you should immediately discontinue making payments
for your SWIFT services through any Ecobank branch or with the use of any Eco
bank Instrument like cheque and/or bank draft. All other banks remain acceptable,”

service among others.
