Legal Question in Banking Law in Nigeria

@israel usman, if i weren't dealing with the banks and with switches, would i still require certification. in the present system, the banks only come in when employees deposit money into the cafeteria account at the bank, after that we use the "account statement" pdf file to manually add value to the cards, the cards were purchased and programmed by us. No switches are involved.
