from the statement they sent . I edited it in the pic I posted earlier on.

Okay, that makes sense. i will have to wait for that too then. I asked them to send it, and they said that they would. I think they reply emails in batches. On several occasions i have received replies on different issues from cardserviceswa and customercare at the same time. The guy that called me this morning said he was gonna send my statement to me. Still waiting. It doesn't show on the internet banking transaction list. Imagine. SMH. Then wats the point of Internet banking if you can't view ur full statement? Even the original adding of beneficiary didn't work for me. Lol na the scam own dey work.

dragnet:
meaning I don't know how to do the calculation? undecided
Why are u now feeling so insecure about this small thing? When values seems alot diff, i usually ask people to post dollar and alert values just to be sure, for clarification as you told @Mizzzbeee. Ask anybody, i do it all the time. Anyways sha thank you for your info. Sorry o sha!

Cool. Hope u don't have too many problems like me. My Internet banking is ready. Used it, but can't find the PayPal charges. I've actually requested twice.
I opened it yesterday and got my account no. Then I proceed to register internet banking using their online site and it was successful. It is now working. I am still waiting for my card, may be next week, I get it.

@jeffy1206, stanbic called me and told me the PayPal code, now my card is confirmed on PayPal. Lol. Those guys are funny, instead of send alert you are calling and sending statements to people just to confirm PayPal code. They have resources oh.

PayPal charged my card twice as i requested for the code twice. Anyways, the photo below confirms that Stanbic charges 199.5 per dollar.

389.03 / 1.95 = 199.5

N.B I was told that on internet banking, 4 naira is charged on every sms sent on a transaction.

Most banks will give u official rate. Dats why i always ask Stanbic the amount charged on the mastercard. Instead of just asking the exchange rate. But seems they misunderstood ur query, or genuinely didn't have the answer. It's possible. I think i'll stick to stanbic for sometime, at least i'm kinda happy with their closeness to customers and availability of info, especially how they reply tweets on twitter. smiley

Ecobank does it, diamond bank does it. So i wouldn't worry about that too much. Yes. 4 naira is charged on every alert u receive. Ecobank charges at the end of the month. I think Stanbic charges immediately from what i saw in my mini-statement on my internet banking profile.

your sarcasm is totally uncalled for, what you need is the exchange rate and that can be gotten by simple maths so why the extensive need for alert and transaction details, I wonder why you didnt included a "statement of account signed by the bank manager" tongue

moreso you clearly stated at the beginning of the thread


When you make a purchase online, of course you divide the amount in the alert you got from ur bank by the amount in dollars or pounds. This is common knowledge, but still. Then u post in the format below

Date: 28th February (or just write today if it is)
BANK: Ecobank
CARD TYPE: MasterCard
Currency: $
Rate: 217.5

Well, there it is. Cheers!

...and even though I stated GTB's exchange rate today, you refused to update it on the first post but you conveniently updated your rate and others.

Hopefully urs would go smoother than mine. I'm sure it would. I think it's just mobile banking dats left for me. Hopefully charges on my atm card will show up on my statement there because weirdly, doesn't show on Internet banking one. U just know that money is pending tho.

Apparently yes,i got one today at 6:04pm, what time did you get urs? i don't know if I like it or not yet. Lol. I think i like it till my mobile banking is ready

@jeffy1206 Stanbic just called me and explained to me that they don't send alerts for Pending transactions, until the transactions are completed. And dats why we didn't get for the PayPal transaction. That the merchant didn't come for the money yet so they can't send an alert yet. PayPal usually takes it and refunds so i wonder why this is different. According to Stanbic, this PayPal transactions are pendings and not completed transactions and really the photo i posted yesterday supports their argument. The guy dat called also ended by saying that i made a valid point about sending alerts about pending transactions and he will take the idea up to the stakeholders and see if it's possible to advance their sms alert platform. Here is the follow-up email he sent below tho. Cheers!

Lol. Okay, remember to report on that Paypal refund. Even tho, the way it looks, there won't be an alert. The money would just appear back in ur account as it seems to be a pending authorization.
And btw see the pic below, it's form my internet banking statement, They charge for the sms alert IMMEDIATELY! Lol.

Lol. It's not extortion. I just rather have them collect it at the end of the month.
Btw, Stanbic still sent those 2 alerts today and it is now showing on my Internet banking statement online. Who knows whether it was pending only because it was weekend. Because i know that PayPal debits then refunds. It's not supposed to be a pending. Now let's see how much they refund.
