Just got debited N1075 for card renewal fee and the vat on it.

I didn't go to bank neither did I initiate any renewal electronically.

So I wish to ask, do GTB ar​bi​trarily debit customer for card renewal?

I really wish my account is not being hacked or something..

Please help.

Nigerian banks are getting targeted by scammers that failed to jam clients abroad so my candid advise is that you should try move the money in your account to my account till sort the issue out with your bank.

They do. Once your card expires, you will be debited to cover the cost of a new card, after which you will be advised to pick up your new card at a designated branch. The debit amount is usually N1075.00.

₦1075 for a bank card is theft! The card is to enable you assess their service for which you park your money with them so they can make profit off you.

This isn't a banking hall dear. If you don't find it cool, kindly visit your bank immediately and file a complaint.

It is normal. They do it once your card is about to expire.

In UBA, it is optional. You have to choose this or you choose the option that you will apply by yourself when it expires.

That's bad and dubious sha. I purposely leave the 10k in the account for a very important reason. Now that has been jeopardized.

I don't use the card, I am not even sure where I placed the card, so I don't even know the expiry date.

So I will have to go and collect the new one in gtb abi?

To make matter worse, I am currently in a kinda remote area and the cost of transportation to the nearest gtb Bank is a fortune. I have to wait till I have more important things to take me to the town. I hope the tenure on the new card won't start counting from the date of this dubious and forceful renewal too?

Bro cool down. The nearest bank to my current location is many miles away. It's even very inconvenient for me to take the cost and stress of visiting the bank any time soon. To cap it, I got this alert last night. And the current holiday is gonna be forever. So I need to come to my people here for an idea on what may be happening to the account before it will be too late.

Very stressful for me now! I am sure I couldn't have intentionally filled any auto renewal. They must have done that covertly or hide the option somehow. Even data wey I dey use regularly I nor gree any auto renewal! I hope my next visit to gtb will settle this. "Hope" because I have noticed that if you wanna reverse any of their dubious policies, eh dey hard. You fit fill form many times to no effect. Corporate Thiefs!

The card comes with expiring date of about 3years so you can pick it anytime.

It happened to me and i have actually relocated from that town and they said it can't be transfer to GTB nearest to me, so, i left the card with them.

Do they still do that? Their is a machine that you can print your card with 24hrs of the day in front of the bank.

I have also been debited twice for card I printed few weeks ago from same bank though I initiated the debit card printing from the bank's card machine.

If the money is removed not for the purpose it meant for the he needs to be careful.

I guess the scam is on those who ain't using the card. I opened the account in Ondo state and I am presently in Adamawa State. Like someone just narrated here, I may not even be able to collect the card untill I go back to the branch I open the account from. That simply mean: even if I need the card in here now, I will have to go to another gtb bank and get another one with another N1075 charges. Most system in this bxtxh is damn fraudulent!

A new ATM card can be printed immediately in your presence at the bank upon your request if your card is stolen, lost or damaged. I have done this with Zenith. You'll still be charged for it. However, in the case of expiry, the bank prints a new card for you shortly before the old one expires and you will be notified. My GTBANK Mastercard is usually printed and ready for pick up 2 to 3 weeks before expiry. I believe the idea is to prevent you from being stranded once your card expires.

If you were debited twice for a new card, you should visit your bank and lodge a complaint about it.

Na still big cooperate scam! If the bank already have an instant card production technology, why do they still go on to prepare and keep a card for a customer (they knew may not need it at that time, because s/he never requested for it), and still charge the customer!? Haba!

Now gtb and others that pull this scam know quite well that majority of people (including me now) they do this to will never come and pick the card. So I doubt any card was even produced after debiting the hundred of thousands of accounts with N1075. The card will still be produced for you instantly if you eventually show up at the designated branch, else you will pay again if you have to go to other branch. Cooperate thieves!
