Early this morning, I received an SMS that I was debited N50 for Stamp Duty Charge. Personally, I was not bothered because it's just N50.

What caught my attention was after going online, I discovered that other Diamond Bank customers too were charged for this same Stamp Duty, some of them were charged as high as 500 or more, some said they charged them up to three times.

A tweet at @DiamondBankHelp on the matter was unreplied, Nigerians wants answers to this stamp duty charge.

Meanwhile, see Nigerians reactions to it below...

What do you think?

It's very true. I also get debit alerts in my inbox. N72 N100 N50 and so on. I don't bother reading what they are for anyway, I read somewhere online about some directive by a government official to banks to deduct some careless charges. When they are done taking all the 'change' there they can close their account
Nothing in Nigeria is making sense or following a defined sequence. Stuff seem to occur randomly.
These guys should just share that cash in the reserves equally to all citizens let everybody just find their various ways.

Recession knows no Zombie, it fúcks us all terribly. But you what,


I DIDN'T VOTE THIS ANTI-PEOPLE ADMINISTRATION

I think the management of this bank need to explain to customers why the bank is deducting our money for stamp we never used.

I mean it is only in Nigeria some banks or org just wake up one day and start charging their customers for nothing

Like diamond bank like MTN

daylight robbery, everything in Nigeria is turning upside down just like how glo is messing up now.

They are whant too rob us dried

Horrible!

In another sad news,

#HonestQuestion

Just when I was about to open an account with them

Maa go dig ground put my money inside abeg

The remaining two years for this CHANGE era no go funny

Come to Zenith

We are not safe in this country anymore.
Nothing is.

pls i am seeing buhari in my dreamseachtime i close my eyes, what should i do?

Welcome to Nigeria where everything is impossibly possible

Banks are stealing us blind. Imagine all the kobo kobo they deduct from each account per week. I bet the total will blow your mind.

They are only useful in making money for themselves , not helping you make money.

Will we ever get it right in this country?

don't sleep oh, you don't want him messing up your dreamworld too.

Okay

huntila:
I got charged twice. N500 & N450.

me too
I was surprised

Diamond Bank don turn to Post Office be dat

let me go and check my account becose any deduction will be war cos l knw my lawyer has nt been to court since this year

Diamond bank has been ripping customers off with all sorts of charges since time immemorial.
I was surprised when i got a debit alert some times last month for july 2016 stamp duty charge.
While other banks are acting according to laid down rules by the CBN, Diamond bank is doing otherwise.
N50 charge multiplied by 500,000 subscribers in a month, without remitting a dime to the apex bank will go a long way in boosting their profit margin.

Daylight robbery i call it.

The bastards also deducted, 150 from my account on the 5th and 250 on the 7th of February. The most annoying part is that I got the debit alert around 4am.I went to Lodge complain this morning only for them to tell me the deductions were for last year transactions.

Nawa.... Even bank dey find illegal way to steal.

Time to change bank

So no b only me

I think Diamond bank is sick. Something is wrong with Diamond bank, Just few days ago, we could not use their app for transactions. If you make a deposit payment or online transfer you will not get alert. Now you can't withdraw less than 50k from the counter except you use your ATM.
