I think this was a very smart move. Reasons;
1. Its highly unlikely that NCC will default, and in the event they do, all EB will do is to take lien of the cash coming through their revenue accounts
2. By signing off their payroll processing job to EB, NCC handed over to the bank one of the biggest payroll processing jobs and the accruing processing fees
3. Multiplier effects of NCC employees opening up accounts with EB in order that they may receive salaries faster than other banks coz EB is the paying bank
4. NCC employees who borrow from EB will not find it very hard to default in view of EB control over their payroll
