These tokens do their work but the hardware does not last. My first token didn't stay a year before i noticed a small crack on the screen which grew into a bigger crack and the ink spread accross the screen.

I got a replacement and few weeks later i saw a small patch of ink (no cracks) which has since been growing at the center. Its almost halfway through the screen but I can manage to guess the obscured numbers most times so I am still using it.

For my first token, I always had it with my keys. I guess that's how the crack came. The replacement token too, I had it with my keys until last week when I removed it.

GTB cannot give us a token and expect us to keep it at our homes and bring it out of the drawer only when we need to make a transaction.

I put my token with my keys because my keys are always with me and I could initiate any transfer anywhere! The token even has a provision for a key chain so it means the makers expect it to be affixed to a set of keys but these tokens are not rugged. They are not built for Nigerian mobility! Soon I will be replacing this second token and each replacement costs 3,500 Naira.

Meanwhile I have decided to find out some time to generate as many token numbers as I can in an hour and save in a secure location on my handheld devices, because that ink that's spreading may just give way one day and cover the whole screen and it may be at a crucial moment.

eyah!

Sorry. It is well..

hehehe...I've had mine for over 5yrs and it still looks brand new

No be u? They knew u could afford the #3,500 for replacements.
Mine is still working after 1 year.. (Actually taken it out when needed)
GTB love customers like u.

Well I have been using my Token for the past 1 year and it is working fine. My advise however is that you should handle it with more care.

Maybe its not the Token thats the problem but you who is careless.. I have owned a GTbank token for over two years, a first bank token and a Diamond bank token (which is as big as a calculator) and they are all functioning just fine...

When next you get one, go meet your nearest welder to make you a metal pouch for it..


GTBank rocks..

Please tell him! You climb nail with your car tire, you wan blame Bridgestone. Mstcheewwww!

Good one. Welders could make money from this idea...

Don't handle it like a token

;DThat a token has a key holder doesn't mean you should carry all the iron wey dey for your house hang am untop. you be mumu. (by the way, how is my pidgin?)

Anyho, i have one and has been using it for over a year now and guess what, it doesn't have so much as a scratch on it.

Say you don use pass 2 Tokens no be sign say your account balancepass 50, 000 Naira..

Those tokens are fragile so you gotta handle with care and not put it with a bunch of keys.
Mine is sparkling new.

Stop keeping them with your keys, Its not secure at all.

Well! I have had mine since the inception of tokens. It has never given me any issues. Mayb u use yours as a keyholder. Mine is always in my bag. It has never failed me. Check yourself jorrrr

I have had mine since 08/09 always on my home office desk. Then in my notebook bag when I move. I haven't replaced battery and still looks new. My cousins token GTB logo got washed off after few weeks due to fixing it to car keyholder. He probably replaced it by now.

Bro, I don't think that's how those things work o - though I'm not so sure. The token works with a time synchronized server at GTB HQ or some where, so whatever numbers you generate beforehand, would be invalid at the time you want to use them later. There are other types of disconnected tokens that use a formula, whereby the next number is a function of the previous, so except this is how GTB's configured theirs, generating numbers for use later wont work. Like I said I'm not sure so pls find out.

Very soft and flexible

keys and token? and you didn't expect a scratch? try it with your phone and if the result is thesame then stop blaming the token or maybe you should pack ur laptop with your pots and plates because e flat like tray. no be only key holder, na key hanger ni.

This guy is cracking me up...
First you keep your token with ur keys..do u keep ur calculator with ur keys? The metal keys will damage the digital surface.
Secondly, you want to generate the numbers and keep? that is ridiculously hilarious... ones you press the token the second time...the previous number can never be used. That is why it is secured.
Just find a better way to keep the token, because I have been using mine for five years with no problem at all

Clearly this tech is not for everyone.

I'm sorry for asking o, what kind of tokens are you guys referring to . .they are obviously used in the Nigerian banking system.

Excuse me for my ignorance. I'm trying to learn.

The token I use and know about is for my work's VPN access

I have had mine for 2yrs +, the only time I had issues was when I started getting half numbers and I called their CS and they said am not pay 3k for a new one, mehn I just decided to break the stuff before getting another one at least to see how the inside dey just to discover it uses a calculator battery mehn I just changed de battry and it starts working again no be my fault. To dash GTB 3k no be small thin

Shame, Access Bank have software tokens that can be installed on your Blackberry or I-phone/I-pad as well as the normal hardware tokens.

you are correct. If you waste time while typing the numbers, you'll sometimes get INVALID TOKEN.

It's a calculator like device that generates random numbers to authenticate your online account. It's a 2 factor model of authentication which gives additional layer of security as it's becoming easier to use social engineering to get mugus to disclose their passwords.
