In d spirit of giving back,i used eastside medical centre,domt get me wrong...service is great and all but interms of charges,they are expensive and not honest.
Had two encounters now-i paid cash for ultrasound(150$),did it,when i went back for my next apointment the lady told me i was owning 214$,dat d ultrasound they did was more advanced...dats how i ended up paying extre 214$(i was never pre-informed about any advance ultra sound).
Secondly,baby was rushed to NICU,i got the billing for d number of nites-476$ for 4 nites,which i made payments for,only for them to send a bill of 2318$ to me and said baby service is not included(so another bill is coming for dat one)...i told dem to break down d bill let me see how it got to 2318 cause my baby stayed for 6 days and got the explaination dat the first bill payment they showed me was for normal baby(which normal baby goes to NICU for 4 nites)..so my babies own first day in NICU is 835$ and subsequent visit is 500$,dats wat brot it to 2318$.Am so pained at d level of cheating ehn but i dont want to accrue bill if not i would have just not answered them.d whites too are dishonest ppl.

Hello Nairalanders.
Pls I need information about western union or moneygram. What's the minimum amount I can send? I also understand that the rates are different across banks, which banks have the most reasonable rates?
Thanks for your help.

BeckyU:

Well prior to my journey, I used Western Union and Moneygram to send cash to my friend here in Houston. Used Access Bank. I under U can only do a total of 1k in a quarter or N328k.I did one in my name and another in my hubby 's name. In total I was able to send about 1880 dollars at approx at the rate of 365.5 including charges. All you need to do is fill out the form and have someone to pick cash from the other side.

@XX01 thanks for that info on diamond bank card rate, just wondering if it will remain at 356 am traveling soon. Pls what is the daily limit for ATM withdrawal in the US.

happytbaby:
In addition, First Bank and Skye Bank also do Moneygram. First Bank does WU too. Issue is that its first come first served everyday.

I have picked about 6 transfers from different friends. One person can only do one per quarter and you have to be an account holder.

This should be on Western Union I presume. On my last trip to the US in May, I did money gram with FCMB and Fidelity Bank before travelling. FCMB only allowed me do just $500 ($485 precisely), I had to go use fidelity Bank for more. However, in the course of transaction, I wanted to send the maximum $1000 from Fidelity Bank but it didn't go through on several attempts, and they just couldn't understand how. When asked if I had done elsewhere already I said yes to them but it was $485 I did as allowed by FCMB.

Immediately they reduced the figure to be sent to what was left of my quarterly allowance, it went through with just one try. I had to ask my wife to help use her account to help me send another $1000 ($970 precisely too) with her quarterly slot. When I pressed to know why I couldn't get to send with different banks, I was told it's BVN/CBN regulated. So, just wondering. Moneygram/Western Union dichotomy I believe!

mumnadine:
is moneygram not western union why urs dint go is d cant send 1000 dollars at once dat was why it did not go in d 1st place and most branches have limit of how much the can send per day which d cant do more than dat maybe d did for others before u but i guess d problem was from d 1k d imputed

OmoBendel24:


No ma, Moneygram isn't same as Western Union. $1000 is just the term used, the precise figure they input translates to $970 back then in reality. It couldn't have been about that figure but the BVN/CBN thingy IMO. Is it MG you did or WU? There lies the difference methinks, else I wouldn't just agree it is doable without restriction in terms of banks interrelatedness. Also, it's possible the time difference between when I did and when you guys did may be at play or something.

You'll most likely need all 3(fit to fly from Dr, filled medif form and port health). Note that you'll need to submit first 2, 48hrs prior to your departure and their calculation of weeks is different. For them 32 weeks is 31wks+1day, so be guided. You can't fly with them after 35 weeks ie 34wks+6days!
