I am equally surprised cause first bank said they would load the money on a card for me and not give me the usual cash, now I had to open an account with Diamond bank all for this transaction, in fact let me call my account officer, I no fit shout.

I can never forget page 356 of thread 1. I have the print out with me here in Houston. It is my guide as I await delivery of my baby. I have never seen a post so detailed and informative. Thank you

Tvegas:
Are you using Baba, if yes how is the hustle these days......hope the crowd has reduced?. Cant stop imagining him hopping from patient to patient with doppler scan

shrekandfiona:

please go open an account with fidelity bank. It's better than diamond on the PTA stuff.

I have account with both fidelity and diamond bank. Before I travelled, I first went to fidelity in abuja for pta, my passport and ticket was confirmed and I was given at 199.54/usd

I still wanted more so I went to diamond bank, i was told they couldn't give me since I had already gotten from fidelity until another quarter

Had to use a work colleague that was also travelling but didn't need the pta and had a diamond account. On a Friday, we went to all the diamond bank branches in abuja and we were told in all, they had run out of usd. Asked us to check back the coming week.

The next Monday, went to their regional office by chealsea hotel central area after much delay, they finally told us they just had stock. We were eventually given at 204/ usd higher than the cbn stipulated rate. Had no choice than to accept it.

For those looking for pta, go to your bank's regional offices in your state. If other branches don't have, the regional offices will have. In abuja, fidelity bank's regional office is beside ceddi mall central area and diamond bank is by chealsea hotel central area.

Hope this helps.
