Lolz, if u get dat kind money, no b for access u go kip am naw, nah 4 foreign bank

[quote author=Avenir]I suddenly received transaction alert email from Access Bank today (I assumed previous ones have gone to spam email) and found out that since January, Access Bank has been taking 400 naira (200 naira twice a month) from my account as a service charge and also taking 10 naira every month as VAT.

I didn't understand these debit charges because the account is not a current account and there has been no transaction on the account (no debit card, no passbook issue, no withdrawal, no payment, etc) since Access Bank took over the account from Intercontinental. I can't recall being advised that my account has turned to a monthly fee paying account and I don't know why I need to pay VAT every month when I have not bought anything.

I sent an email to access bank and they replied tersely that it is their new annual charge of 200 naira. However, this is not an annual charge on my account as my account is hit 3 times a month with a total of 410 naira in charges. Moreover, I have not previously been advised about the introduction of an annual charge.

Is any other person being hit with these charges? Is this the new banking system in Nigeria? Is this specific to accounts taken over


make it dormant, i did it. i don't complain twice, dont let them take you for a full

DIAMOND BANK!

angelz: @ Op. d deductn from your acc is much. they didnt deduct up to that amount from my acc.
b4 l visit dem with my anger. l av been avin dis problem wit dem since Oct. last year.
Initially when l comlained, d lady feign ignorance n promised 2 correct it. when l didnt notice any changes, l went again n another lady told me 100 is meant for acc maintenance n anoda 100 for electronic charges- makin 200.(even when l dont use d ATM) When l couldnt reason wit dem l withdraw my peanut, left dem with d minimum bal. of 1000. By d time dey finish deductin d 1k, dey will look elsewhere 4 dia fraudulent charges.
Am now with Diamond Bank.

I'm not the only one. Had N2500 in the former intercontinental bank which became dormant. Got a text three months ago that I had N1420 balance remaining. An account with no transaction for the past 3 years, no ATM, nothing. Since I got the text I get a monthly deduction of N200. I can't even remember the account number.

That bank is the most useless bank in Nigeria.They debit your account for very dubious charges and again,their Internet banking is hopeless.I really miss IBPLC.One can imagine Aig as CBN governor.

by thier name u should know that they av acess to do anytin on ur account n by ur topic u av already concluded that they steal 4m u

samtin happen to me on access bank they just deducting my money anyhw dey like. Well av made up my mind to close my account frm d bank.

I was happy with intercontenental bank (okpara avenue) until they migrate to Access bank, and since then, the story changed.

Every month, they deduct 100 naira from my account.
If i withdraw any amount, they will withdraw 1,000 naira for themselves.

Four times every day, they will send texts to me, thereby kidnapping 40 naira per day from my account.

All my complaint to thier costumer care fell on deaf ears because they are always ready for an answer even before the question comes
Now what i did was to withdrew my money and left 1,000 naira minimum deposit and Ben johnsoned.

I'm now banking with Unity bank (ogui road, before stadium) and they are God's sent.

Those regulating banking transactions in nigeria should urgently look into this before it becomes a tradition.

Exactly access bank have being doing same 2 me, ooo n am tired of them

konn: access bank are doing corporate stealing 200 monthly i noticed it early so i withdrew my money to minimum balance iv not checked by balance recently maybe it will be in negative now stupid thieves really enjoyed ibplc i don port go GTB

i don port go fidelity tey tey

i've moved my salary account from there and almost emptied the account. They sent plenty harassing text messages followed by this preposterous email you talked about. I go soon close the account. Unless they agree to give me a loan on generous terms. Lol.

CFCfan: Access bank has access to customers' money, so it may be true that they steal the money.

But they (Access Bank) have to have a stronger fidelity to their customers, just like Fidelity Bank.

If they show such fidelity, their profitability will reach the skies, just like Skye Bank.

With such huge profits, they will reach the zenith of their financial environment, just like Zenith Bank.

c fc funny guy

Anybody that saw all these and still stuck access bank probably have enough to spare and loose without feeling the pain. Its a bank for politicians due to excess looting

yuzedo: Lemme go and check my account balance.. If I don't see my complete N214,697,000,000.000 I swear somebody gonna die!

Be quiet jor

Everything is a game to you

Thats Access bank specialise in. Very soon what happen to intercontinental will happe to them.

My sister discovered a huge some of abou =N=3,400.00 from her access bank between Mach and now. They are turning to so¤e thing else. God hhelp Nigeria.

Why are you spamming every thread with your okrika and Louis Dubai gear? Mind yasef o!

Most banks charge spurious and dubious charges but Access bank seems to be taking the direct hit.

Better then Banks in America where it cost 1,500NGN a month to 2,500NGN per month

I also had an experience with them a week ago, as I withdrew a thousand naira from their ATM machine, which turned out to be a fake, and when I tried to return the money, but it wasn't accepted. And that was how I lost a thousand naira to access bank.

ACCESS BANK ARE BIG THIEVES. I ACTUALLY PLANNED TO OPEN SUCH A THREAD LAST WEEK. HOW CAN A BANK TELL ME THAT MINIMUM DEPOSIT IS 5,000 AND THEN I BEGIN TO SEE BALANCE OF 4,800..4,600..4,400..4.200 DIMINISHING BY THE MONTH FOR ONE USELESS MAINTENANCE CHARGE. ARE THEY PHCN?

I thought I was alone on this Access thieving. Left a balance of #7450 in my access bank account last year December. but by March this year my balance crippled to #5770.11k. I'll be going there tomorrow to empty that account ASAP.

mankand: Had the same problem. Complained but he lady said it is service maintennce charge. I don port go stanbic since, enjoying their service though.

I am thinking i should port my company account to stanbic sef, but make my oga at the top comment first

I recommend Sterling bank, there are current accts that are COT free. No spurious charges, I have been with them since 2007.

This OP must ve been reading my mind....dey debit me for sending the same text msg like 10times in a week now dey ve d guts to tell me my account no get 'mandate'. I just pray dey borrow me mandate soon make I withdraw all my money...am tired of dem
