Bankers' Forum

bros d work no easy i almost resign when i started last yr wit 1st inland.d level of competition in d industryhas made d job so so demandin God help us.

just resumeds wuth intercontinental in abuja. omo i am not finding it easy since i am in retail and personal banking unit.(Marketing). all the marketing gurus should give me tips on how to meet targets and all that.
i always close late but believe me, its far much better than been unemployed.

Any GTB staff here?

Guess if does guys go some of the stress u guys talking about here!! I'm not Banker though, but doubt if GT have same probs with other banks!!

Terrible customer Service at banks

_{We notice most of you are avoiding this thread ^^^ cough cough}

That is what people on the outside see but the work inside no easy oooooo!


Yeah! you are right! monotony of the job could be boring and can make one go gaga!!!!


I worked with UBA Plc  for 5yrs, you may be right that they do not really work from 8am - 8pm but i tell you that Banking is not easy, capturing vouchers and taking them for approval alone could be time wasting and do not forget that because of the risk involved, there has to be thoroughness.

Department varies, while some may not need to close late others because of the nature of their job would be forced to close late e.g the Tellers, they have to pay/receive cash from 8am - 4pm and balancing of the cash book commences. Sometimes when they have system breakdown, that could also make them work late in other to capture their vouchers and balance their book though it would not be an everyday affair.

For the marketers that spend time at home & pretend to go look for customers well, it only time that would tell. The end of month/year appraisal would expose them if they do not meet their target unless they have an already existing customer base that equates their target.

Banking is hectic, hectic here also depends on the Bank/Department you work with and the customer base of the bank, you cannot compare a big bank with one that is still trying to stand on its 2 feets. The ATM is a major relief too.

I pity the female marketers that have to sleeping around to meet their targets.
I think bankers need to work smart and not work hard.

One other thing that i'm concerned about is how bankers manage their wardrobe. i know now that we don't have to travel far distances before we can get good suits, shirts and even shoes. Nigerian made stuffs are doing really good in our days. i mean, take a good look at the entertainment industry for example. Even the banking sector is not as it was in those days, when all they use was just office files.

i'd like to recommend these links so that you can be opportune to view the different collection of outfits made by Zooto.

i have a huge problem with customer relations in Banks,
especially up north

don't they ever get to hear of the phrase a customer is always right.

If your job as a banker is stressful, drop a resignation letter and leave the work. Nobody will arrest you for quitting and so disturbing us, maybe you are even showing off yourself simply because you work in a bank. If really stressful, I bet you would have stopped.

though i am not a banker but sometimes i like them for their smart dresses and well polished English, i was embarrassed by one of the security men in Zenith bank, he demanded to sight my check before i could gain entrance to the banking hall, i actually closed my account that munite.
Also Oceanic in particular, sorry to say i think most of d OND staff needs some training. it's a not a good bank.

Hi Guys,
Please note when this thread was initiated it was just an avenue to talk about our jobs, challeneges and how we can move the industry forward. Most guys out there are into wealth creation as in INVESTMENT BANKING. We shldnt see this a as an avenue to endorse our banks or try to raise our cabals, My fellow marketers and Business developers lets meet in the JUNGLE and NOT on this forum. 
How do we move the industry Forward.

Bankre's too dey form! ,  anyway nice concept let us see how the banker's lounge would thrive. Atleast it would be an opprotunity for an outsider to lash out at lazy bankers and commmend those sweating hard to gain the customer's thank you and return visit!

To my Wema bank/bankers so much knocks for you oh. I have met a couple of them tha have not gone through the firms operational manuala ndthey keep saying discordant tunes.

To my GTB bankers ,  you are sweet! and i like your smiles.

If you want me to elaborate i am ready but let us just keep it anonymous. I read someone voting for/against oceanic earleir, well my advice for them is thatthey should make online transfers available online. That way we could avoid our bankers/rude tellers altogether! Thank God for ATM and online banking!

I think most of these bankers are bunch of lazy ego tripping piece of crap. Now telling me what is so hard in counting money, even if you don't have a counter? Most of buttbreaths loves to get paid but hate to put in work. You can always tell by their fake okrika suits and shoes that these buffoons are lazy bunch. Get your ass back to work ! If i own a bank, i'll also try and own a farm so i can take these fake akowes to farm on the weekends.

my brother, the stories are true. These girls done see something.
Some bad guys capitalise on it, promising the girl that he will open million dollar account in her bank, under one condition (sex).
It is left for the girls to "meet" her target or not.
Na wa o. It is happening everyday in Nigeria.

A friend was robbed, gave the thief her atm pin no out of fear, she got to UBA some mins past 7am they blocked the atm card swiftly buut when she got to GTB they told her to come by 8am imagine! Someone who a thief out dere has her ATM and pin no
