I do not know if stanbic is already getting fed up and want to frustrate customers from investing in TB. CBN rate was very high I do not know how high there bid was that couldn't make it.

It happens sometimes.. ..In every investment you loose money..so do not take it to heart. Secondary Market is operated almost on a daily basis and the percentages they offer changes daily too. You can still contact them on Monday or better still contact diamond bank for the secondary market if interested.
.
I don't see how Stanbic might want to frustrate customers.
.
I chose their rate at d previous auction. They bidded 17.49% and CBN stop rate was 17.5% for 182 days.
They must've gone a little higher in the hopes that the rates will go up.
.
Any bank that wants to frustrate its customers will choose very low rates.
.
It didn't work out this week for 182 days. It might at next auction. The bank is run by humans, and there's no telling what the CBN rates will be at next auction.

It's possible. For Skye bank, you will need to find someone willing to buy the whole lot for the remainder of the tenor of your bills at the exact rate you bought it. Just call your bank and they might be able to work something out for you.

Thanks so much for the response. I was at the bank during the week and was told the minimum is 1m. They buy both in the primary and secondary markets.

Is there a way a non-insider can verify what the bank's bid rate is?

If a customer choose to have the bank bid for him at its rate and the cbn stop rate is 17.5%, what prevent the bank from telling the customer that it made a bid at may be 15% especially if that 15% falls within successful bid range?

All Bids below and at par with CBN rates are successful.
All bids above CBN rates are unsuccessful.
So the bank most likely bidded at a rate above the CBN rate for the time.

Well may be my question was misconstrued because of your earlier post that I quoted.

What I meant is this:

In the last auction of 4th January,
The range bid for 91 days TB was 13 - 18%
The successful bid rates were 13 - 14%
The stop rate was 14%

My bank didn't allow me to bid at my rate but insisted that it would bid at its rate. While from the cbn publication of the range bid, one can see that no bank bid below 13% or above 18%. I intended bidding at 14% and I would have been successful but the bank later informed me after the auction that it bid at its rate of 13% which also fell within the successful bid rates.

While the difference of 1% is minimal in this case, what of the instance of successful rates being like 12 - 16 and the bank is successful at 16 but tells its customers it bid at 12. My question then is, is there a way to verify what a particular bank successful bid rate is, if one is not an insider?

Also does the customer have the right to insist on bidding at his/her rate?

Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by MercyLady3: 10:02am On Jan 09, 2017
Guys, should I be worried about not getting my money back immediately after tenure/maturity/release date as I need my money urgently after the date?

Hope the banks are not involved in some witty decisions?
Any bad experience so far?

[I use GTBank]

Please can someone give me clue on how the application should look like if one wants to bid and when to submit to avoid misplacement.
Or is there a form to fill from the bank. I want to bid through Diamond bank

. . . your money stays back in your account or returned if debited already. Though some banks may sell to you from the secondary market but at a lower rate than Primary market without your knowledge

http://www.businessdayonline.com/nigerias-high-inflation-rate-set-fall-18-3/

Bismarck Rewane-led economic consulting firm, Financial Derivatives Company (FDC), tips December inflation to cool 1.18 percent to 18.3 percent from 18.5 percent the previous month. This would be the first time in 14 months that inflation is slowing, according to data compiled by BusinessDay.


This Inflation rate news would hit the market any moment soon...

If you must invest in Tbills..this is the time and try and go LONG!

Do you mean we should invest a lot? Or we should chose higher rates? I want to bid at 17.33 % for 182 days to play it safe this coming auction. Do you think this is a good idea?

I guess u shud go for one year instead of 3 or 6 months.
