Goodmorning N'lander,this morning I went to use first bank ATM unfortunately there was no network on all the ATM at that branch.Since I needed cash urgently, I went to GTbank ATM,i inserted my card with pin and pressed withdraw,guess what happened? a list of denomination was show on the screen ranging from one thousand to five thousand naira being the highest.Since I want to withdraw more than five thousand naira, I removed my card from the first machine and tried it on the next available machine, lo and behold same amount of denomination was shown on the ATM screen,5 thousand naira being the highest I can withdraw per time.I have to withdraw many times in order to get the needed amount and on each 5 thousand naira withdrawal 65 naira is being deducted from my account.
I see this act as a means for nigerian banks to rob nigerians of their hard earn money.

Nawao

Rare occurrence but then couldn't you click others and withdraw in tranches of 20/40k?

Your tory get as e be

bro, with all due respect and you not feeling insulted, you knew what you saw quite well, what you experienced but are not presenting things like it is.
on that monster there use to be option for you to type in whatever amount you want if the pre-programmed bottons are ain't up to your cash demand.
to my understanding what you are saying is that the option is been deleted right? or just synonymous with that bank?

The other option isn't available for cards from other banks. A user complained about the OP's experience on Thursday when I used Gtbank Magodo branch. I think it's a kind of cash control for December period. My guess though.

I just imagine someone inflicting pains on people over their legitimate right restrict cash withdrawal.
maybe some lazy idiot don't want to leave his family during the festive period? but op said he went ahead making multiple withdrawal which me GT intentionally want to cash in on unsuspecting client from other banks since the festive period is synonymous with heavy cash withdrawal.

I witnessed such few weeks back at the GTB in computer village, it gave me the option to input the amount I needed because I used a GTB , but wasn't so for other banks users...

then this is exploitation from gtb

I can confirm what the OP has said. It happened to me too on Thursday at a Gtbank ATM in Abeokuta, and the "Others" Option was visibly missing from the screen. The Amounts shown were #1,000 to #5,000. This is a Machine that usually dispensed #1,000 notes, the highest Amount should have been #30,000 as with GTBANK ATM Machines.

I had to calm down first, eject my ATM Card and reinsert the it again.

Mind you, I used GTBANK ATM Card.

After I inserted the Card, then I just pressed the button where "Others" Option was supposed to be written and it brought out option to type what amount I wanted to withdraw, and that's how I defeated their attempt to rob me.

I wanted to withdraw #71,000. I would have pressed the machine 15 painful times.

You have to be wise in this country.

The OP's tale is true please.

This is true of GTB atms. I had same experience 2 nights back. Although, this morning I used Polaris Bank atm and the threshold was 15k. This is banking malpractice which should be explained by the top exec at GTB.
