The Checking Account Agreement is a fundamental banking document used in Nigeria when establishing a new banking relationship between a financial institution and a customer. This agreement is essential for compliance with Nigerian banking regulations, particularly the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020 and Central Bank of Nigeria guidelines. It details the terms and conditions for account operation, including account holder rights, bank responsibilities, fees, electronic banking services, and security measures. The document is designed to protect both the bank's interests and customer rights while ensuring transparency in banking operations. Banks typically require this agreement to be executed before opening a checking account, and it serves as the primary reference document for resolving any account-related disputes or questions.
