I was wondering, if I won the ellusive lottery and was given a cheque of 25 Billion Naira, what would I do with it? Still wondering? I would start my own bank ofcourse.
Street Bank - banking with an attitude.
Why that slogan/motto or whatever it is called? Simple, our operating processes,
Our Rules.
If you are a poor man, don't come near our bank, else you will be attended to by the security man. Do you think we would waste the time of our customer services officer on you? Did I mention that the Security Officer will query you outside. Dont want you staining our clean office.
Lets assume you manage to sneak in, and you want to open an account? Savings? Sorry, come back in 3 days time, our officers only attend to current account openers only. Think we are harsh, ok, can you afford 25,000 for a savings account. Like Zenith, like Us.
When coming, please bring along the following: driver's license (we don't care if you can't drive), international passport (you've never travelled out - go and get one at Oluwole), reference letter from your primary school headmaster (hmmm) and any other document to prove that you are alive. At least, GTB does similar. No! We don't accept National ID Card. It has no signature and it may not be you.
Ahh, welcome back! You've brought all the items. Good. Did we mention next of kin's picture? No? Dont blame us, we are only copying UBA Group.
Excuse me, have I seen you before? Yes, that's true. You came to open an account with us. Hope you have served us well? Want to make a deposit? Please go to counter 1, where that pretty lady is. She should convince you to pay more than you intended. The ugly guys, we use them for withdrawals, they will scare you to go meet the ladies and deposit instead of withdrawing. Nice business principles, thank you. You are much too kind.
Please check back, have a business meeting with Soludo, we intend merging all the banks into CBN. He has promised me the role of GMD (Group Merging Director). Now where is my accountant?
