Intercontinental Bank Has Become Useless

I dont know about other banks in Naija and i HONESTLY dont have a problem with the 50 naira deduction for using the ATM.
1. ATM's cost money to buy, install, and maintain.

2. Banks need to make money like every other business.

My problem with them was the 10k minimum balance which they've rectified.
As a customer of almost 13 years, i get BIG stake for that bank  so i can halla at them as i want. thats why i joined in Shouting "OLE, OLE!!"

The fact is that majority of the customers dont like the 50 naira charge on the ATM, Personally, i dont even have ATM card,i have no use for it. so i dont care much about that.
I suggest Intercontinental should ask customers withdrawing below 20k to use the ATM but i've seen someone withdrawing 2,500 naira from ATM and charging the person 50 naira for such withdrawal is not fair o.

@jimuchy

Another one from Intercontinental bank. Isn't it obvious to you all nairalanders now?
Anyway, to answer your stupid poverty stricken bastard who cannot survive without salary,
my income from one single transaction from any of the three businesses I own will be enough to pay your salary and your whole family and relations
put together for the rest of your entire existence on planet earth.
You are just a complete fool. You want to trade words with me? Sorry for your life. I will run you down first before I finish with your greedy failing bank.
You think its everybody that does not value money like a security seeking salary earner like you whose like will be destroyed after losing his job?
If other banks that I have accounts with do not charge me any kobo for banking with them after the use of their ATM, while should I stay with your own
IntercontinenThief Bank? Am a business man, every kobo counts, and that's why I will forever stay on top of your lineage.
How much were you paid to come and make a post here? If you don't know its obvious to us all that you just registered to make this
post like several of your colleagues who were mobilised to save their lives.
NIGERIANS KEEP WITHDRAWING YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO RUN DOWN WITH THEM.

Blogger Dayo Coker Receives Death Threats From Intercontinental Bank.
« on: March 20, 2009, 08:42 PM »   

"I received a threatening email from Intercontinental Bank this morning. I'm still kind of shaken and I can't figure out if they are threatening a "Spiritual" or "Physical" attack. Why would a "healthy" bank threaten a "lowly" blogger for doing a public service?   After all, the CBN is conducting a "Special Examination" of the bank. Well, if anything happens to me, I guess my wife and kids will know who to hold responsible. I plan to take this threat seriously. I won't be bullied. I remain an intrepid newshound.


Here's the text of the email from Intercontinental Bank's Corporate Affairs Departmemt

What exactly do you hope to achieve by doing this? IF YOU DO NOT STOP THIS BLASPHEMY, those of us who are here and who eat from here will put you in the "centre'' of a FIRE which you will not be able to withstand.

Stop this nonsense in your own interest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have been warned.

Dont mind the bank, they dont even care about physically challenged people. I was at one of the bank's branches in Ibadan where someone with calliper was disallowed by their computer door from entring the bank. They better think twice before they start losing customers.

How sad.
Now, some people will come on this forum from Intercontinental bank to say that  nobody is stating any fact.
If you expose them the more they will result to personal attacks yet they want Nigerians to bank with them.

I havent read this thread from the beginning but people like you need to learn to abide by simple rules and regulations.

The bank has a minimum deposit of N10,000. Your mom deposited N15000 and you're here shouting and raining curses because she wasnt allowed to withdraw more than N5000.

Are you well? Or is it that you dont understand the meaning of minimum deposit?

 SHUT UP! I'm well! maybe you re noT! or are you?

Maybe you can't read English very well,  Deposit don't mean she just opened the account!

She has been running the account for more than 2 yrs now.

Because you are not affected so you saying crap here,  See don't let me descend ma ANGER on you!

And please learn how to reply threads in good MANNERs!

LOL,

I see,  na Tpia abi! No be Tilapia!     so him MOUTH come dey draw Like OKRO!!!

Hi guys,

I have carefully read most of the posts here and carefully conducted a personal research on this bank.
I use this bank alongside three other banks in 9ja and i have confirmed that most of the people that posted negative comments here are just unfair to the bank (intercontinental bank) and our dear country -----I'm aware some banks also charge btw N50-N100 per ATM withdrawal. Most of the negative posts on this thread  are over-bloated, exaggerated, and in some cases cannot be verified, the bank is not as bad as it is being represented here,  I know of a relative that just took substantial loan from this bank. I do not think a distressed bank can give such a loan.

We need to realize that the economic meltdown is a global issue and we all seen how it is taking it's toll on most big orgs worldwide including big banks in US and Europe.  Its only God that is still sustaining our economy and i wonder why some of us are attempting to destroy what God has done for us, 

The absolute truth is that orgs need to take some measures to remain in business, and such can include, business re-strategize, lay-off, salary-cut, over-head reduction etc,  I heard from an unconfirmed  source that the bank want to cut salary, but if the MGT thinks that is necessary to keep them alive, i see nothing wrong in that,  I am aware of other banks and so many organizations that have laid-off.

I have had causes to leave some banks due to unsatisfactory services, and i always believe it makes sense to do so as customer we have right of choice, but it's not good to pull others down,

too many bush people for naija.

See them yelling and cursing in their oversabi.

This is why most of you people have reputations all over the world. Learn how to navigate public interactions in a civilized manner!!!

Small time now them go travel come begin complain say foreign airport officials no respect them!!  When you keep yelling over little matters as if sky wan fall how them go respect you!!

Any bank can increase their minimum balance at any time. You're free to close your account there without giving yourself high blood pressure!!

hiss.

I myself am thinking of closing an account here which is charging me too much in monthly fees.  I should go and curse them out abi!

This is disappionting to say the least 

I took a gud look @ em bank b4 i chose Ibplc last year, kinda wish i was with Gt Bank now 

My guy its not too late. You can go inside now and close your account. Nothing do you.

I think this topic is over. I dont think there is anything more to say! 

Only God will judge. If I am a Yahoo Yahoo Boy May Good Punish me and doom me to hell, if I am not my he do the same to you. AMEN!! You can say God forbid all you want.  You are the one that started this.

For your information. I deleted the thread, because Soludo is really friends with my dad, and I dont want him to get any ideas.

Also, I am the creator of this topic Jin kazama and Kazuya are one and the same. Check the profiles of each, the information and pictures are the same.

And what are you talking about deleting response to my post. It is not possible for a member of nairaland to delete posts of other members even if it is my topic. Only moderators can do that. A moderator must have found your post stupid or something. It is obvious you are new to nairaland. I dont talk to much. If a moderator found your post useless, that is non of my business.

Finally, it seems you do not believe me when I tell you that I purchase items on ebay through my relatives living in the United States. You can check my profile on Facebook or hi5 if you want you will notice that almost my whole family are living in the US. Search for Utotomi Abalu.

Thats all the evidence I have for now.

AS FOR THE REMAINING NAIRALANDERS, lets get back to the topic, Intercontinental is Useless. MAITEMA, me and you can create a new topic and beef on that topic not here. We can even meet somewhere in Abuja if you like. What do you say, lets settle this once and for all       

The only thing I'm guilty of, is the same thing 90% of Nigerians are guilty of. And thats using an ungenuine copy of windows  Can you blame us, how will I buy WIndows for 12,000 naira (I saw Windows Vista at the airport for 16,000) when it is available for 150.

First and foremost for your information; no 21st Century bank in a developed country, not in Nigeria (developingunderdeveloped) would bounce on their customers with such inconsideration at this crucial moment when we're experiencing global financila crisis which has been a backlog of greed and inconsideration even in the so called developed country. This all boils down to the way banks are run in Nigeria as if they're the one offering eternal favour to their customers; and they end up splashing huge money on staff without straightening their operational functions in due manners. Check out how banking is done in a developed world; confirm carefully with genuine people, high school students i.e. School cert. holders are the ones employed to do this job, you can easily count how many staff works in a bank and no specialty attached; you get the best service you deserve at any point in time and when any goes wrong, they come begging asking how they can serve you better, that not excluding human lapses everywhere in the world, fyi, you versually do almost all your banking at home online, except when droping cheque whihc you can as well perform at most ATM around in less that few moments. So, it's not Intercontinental alone, but almost all of these so called big banks that we know all they're into is illegal money transfer, GOD PUNISH THEM AND THEIR FACILITATORS, I know we need to shake up every time these things happens so we could WAKE UP TO A NEW NIGERIA ONE DAY, for those who truthfully desire,

I don tire for this accusations and counter accusations.

De-marketing

Pull him down syndrome (abi na spirit)

The fact is that there is global reccession and i know that no bank is safe. IBPLC, GTB, etc, even CBN, afterall the government of Czech republic crashed yesterday because of the recession, while some European countries have declared bankrupty.
We should be happy that no bank has failed in Nigeria and we're just tackling this dollar issue(my major concern as a businessman)
Since IBPLC has now told us again that minimum balance is now 1k, i'm ok. That was why we joined this thread in shouting Ole!
