For me, no it has not. I can only imagine how frustrating and irksome it could be when you're relying on the money you want to withdraw for transport fare.lol

Mine happened on a friday evening at about 5pm after the bank had closed and i was in a strange town. I had no money on me at all. I simply walked up to the security guard and told him i had to go in the bank and get my card. before he could say a word, i screamed "I'm stranded!!!". He took me inside through the back door to the lady @ the customer care section. She was about to say "Come back next week" when i screamed again 'YOUNG LADY, I AM STRANDED'.. She burst into laughter and called a male staff who sorted it out for me. Boy how lucky i was smiley

Nigeria ATMs dont cease cards, they cease monies!
Re: Has ATM Machine Ever Seized Your Card Before? by Nobody: 5:54pm On Jan 08, 2013
Yes once and the security man told me to be patient that some bank staff will soon be there.


After waiting for about 10 mins they came with more money to put into the machine. I approached one of them and explained myself to him.

He simply went behind, retrieved some cards, asked my name and gave me my card.

That was several years ago on OAU Campus..

Guy they do both o!

@OP My ATM card was retained by a machine once. It was back then in 2007 in Jos. I guess I tried to change my pin but was not successful, so both the old and the new pin didn't work on the card and it was retained. I got the card immediately from the bank but had to wait for 2weeks to get another pin.

Yes and it wasnt funny cos it was on a friday evening
Had given my main squeeze to help get some ca$h for weekend spending but she entered the wrong PIN twice,it got siezed, so I had to lay low till Monday morning when I went in to the banking hall,confirmed my identity,collected it back&changed my PIN as I left the premises.

Yesso. And it was so tiring enh. Twas on one of my lag escapades all d way from ido ekiti. Went to buy suya at allen jxn and used the atm on my way back to General hospital, ikeja. Twas after i got back to GH that i realised my ATM card wasnt on me n dat was around 10pm. Dammn - i knew i had left in the ATM as i took a bike from the bank straight to my friends' place(in GH). There was no customer waiting in line after me when i used it so i guess the atm just swallowed it when nobody was removing the card from its slot. so i went back to the bank n complained to the security guards who really werent much help. Twas on a saturday night and i had to leave lag for work in ekiti the next day. I eventually returned to the bank after like a month and retrieved the atm from customer care. Whew
