I stumbled on a thread where a robot was used as a waiter, then a Nairalander commented saying despite the all the years ATM has been in operation, both tested and trust, still Nigerians count their cash after dispensary.

I am one of them

I still do not trust the ATM to dispense accurately. Once bitten, twice shy.

Why in school, I've been once short paid by the ATM. I withdrew 3,000 Naira but it dispensed 2,500 Naira

As little as little as the money may sound, it meant a lot to me then.

Ever since, I dey count my money to confirm

Funniest thing is if your money no complete
You no fit hold the machine responsible

I learnt you can lodge a complaint to the bank

Yes

Sometimes it issues condemned notes

It happened to me
I went inside the bank to complain and they changed it

There is the need to immediately count your money, and I'm commenting based on experience. My story is that I remembered a day when I withdrew N10,000 from a popular bank in Jimeta-Yola. The machine rather dispensed a mixture of both genuine and fake currency. I immediately moved inside the bank with my transaction receipt and surrendered the money dispensed by their machine. They verified my transaction and immediately substituted the fake notes with genuine currency

I don't think so
At least for security reasons
Imagine counting 200k cash in front of First bank atm at Onitsha Main market

It depends on the Amount you're withdrawing

There is a need. No machine is 100% efficient. For that sole reason, just count to confirm you got the right amount of notes. If one is short-changed, you can lay a complaint for further investigation and resolution.

Unless you're hoping to return a bad note to the banking hall after the atm gives you, nor even bother....plus it's unlikely that you'll be short paid, and NEVER OVERPAID

I'm sure you didn't read the post

Naija people no dey easily trust technology.

* They would lock car with the security keys, even after hearing the notification sound, naija people go still open the car door to confirm.

* They would count money that ATM just finished dispensing. No be you input the digit Na those ones wey dey even count am in front of the ATM dey vex me pass, you wan lock the ATM shirt, if money no complete.

* They would install CCTV cam, even after seeing you on the monitor, dem go still open door, comot outside to confirm if na you truly.. Lol..

Naija people..

It very unlikely for the machine to short pay you, but you can count it, it will only look somehow to still stay beside machine and be counting after withdrawal, you know.

As for me, I prefer making use of POS machine mostly for my mode of payments


Slawormiir, pass me the kpoli

What do you do if your money is not complete, who is your witness?

A bank ATM once dispensed fake 1k note for me . If I had counted probably would have noticed it before leaving the ATM.

Ok

Not really

A machine can over pay and underpay you. Mostly because of the mistake of the ATM custodians. Sometimes they mistakenly load 500NGN in 1000 ATM cassettes or vice versa or even slip in few notes of 500 in 1000 bunch.

Count your money right in front of the ATM camera then walk into the branch to complain if need be.

Okay ..

Yes,crazy things are happening!!

I remember when I did 10k withdrawal and the machine paid 7k...Not just me but to others...

I don't normally check but I don't see any issue with people double checking.

Nigerians and trust issues are like 5&6.

Don't trust anything in Naija








Including ATM machine

Yes sure.

In Nigeria, we don't even trust our president talk of ATM machine.

On September 20th 2021 I withdraw FAKE N2000 currency in ATM machine. Immediately I went inside Bank to lay complaint, they call security for me and threatened to arrest me.

Everything in Nigeria needs verificatio

What's ATM
Just hearing of it

Some ATM still retract money.. so counting ur cash won't be out of place

Not just mistakes in loading. The ATM clamp and shutter could be faulty. Leading to the machine under-paying customers

Ask buhari because in this Era everything is questionable

And did you return the incomplete cash after counting

issoright

There's strong need to count. I was once paid 8k by atm instead of 10k that I requested for

Yes you can confirm. The ATM is loaded by a human being.

illicit:
Yes

Sometimes it issues condemned notes

It happened to me
I went inside the bank, they changed it

Someone loaded condemned notes in the cassettes. Which is even bad because it can make the machine jam, just like mint notes. Used clean notes are the best for ATMs.

TOPCRUISE:

And you did you return the incomplete cash after counting

Didn't have the power to start wahala over 500 Naira. But it really meant a lot to me then. 2010
