Please who else is experiencing issues receiving transfers to their Zenith account, I’m beyond livid

Zenith is the worst bank in Africa. Imagine me recieving alert for money that was paid into my account over 6 days ago today. It almost caused issue between me and my client. I initially felt like client was trying to fool me.
Zenith Bank is worse than useless.

This is a bad move tbh...

The President and his aides, Governors, Senators, ministers and all agents of govt are by far the biggest consumers of the country hard earned forex.

The amount of cash in £ and $ they carry with them as they frequently jet out of he country, would shock you. Those cash comes from CBN, no bank can gibe out such humongous cash, all sealed.

Their children and relatives are here in the UK. They bring cool Pounds to them all the way from Naija, they don't have to withdraw cash. They are big boys and girls here. We see each other and they are part of the laundry process.

Make I no name names...

This is what happens when a country over borrows and uses it revenue to service debt. Rubber stamp senate and HOR did nothing about it.

Guaranty Trust Bank has announced that its naira cards will no longer be used for international transactions starting December 31, Reports.

This means customers using the GTBank mastercard can no longer use their naira debit cards to pay for transactions originated in foreign currency.

Nigerian Banks had in March reduced their monthly international spending limit on naira cards citing “current market realities on foreign exchange.”

The banks gradually reduced their monthly international spending limit on naira cards from $100/$120 to $50/$20.

In September, several banks suspended international transactions on naira cards. GTB announced its decision on Thursday.

Read Their Statement On The Email Inbox As Obtained By Below:

“Dear Customer, we write to inform you that you will no longer be able to use your Naira Mastercard for international online and POS transactions effective 31st December 2022. Kindly note that you can use your GTBank dollar card for all your international spending requirements,” the bank said in an emailed memo.

“According to the bank, the dollar card allows ATM Withdrawal of $1,000 daily or the equivalent in the transaction’s local currency. It added that with the dollar card, there is no limit to international PoS or online transactions. There will also be no annual spending limit,” it said.

Nigeria has suffered an importation-fuelled foreign exchange crisis for years, but the scarcity worsened in 2021 with its export proceeds declining amid increaed supply for foreign exchange. The dollar exchanges for naira at about 440 a dollar at the official market and N740 a dollar at the parallel market.

As of December 28, Nigeria’s foreign reserve fell to $37billion, compared to $37.1 billion recorded as of November 28.

Naira card is cheaper to use against dollar card. The option that favors naira most is using naira card to get dollar at a cheaper rate.
Now that they have stopped the use of naira card, people will be forced to buy dollar at black market rate which will further increase the demand for dollar and increase in the price of dollar

Yes so what it means is that except you have serious need for the dollars, you don't have business trying to access it.

Previously, with the Naira card, card holders with funds on the account engaged and in impulsive purchases or engaging in currency prospecting
