Please help me with this someone...it is driving me mad o!!! I am trying to send my dear friend some money from abroad for her birthday. Apparently her bank (GTB) require a 3 month current account before she can transfer the money!!! This is ridiculous! Do the other major Nigerian Banks (Access, Skye, UBA, Ecobank, Keystone etc.) demand similar conditions for a WU transfer? What I mean is...could a Nigerian walk into one of these banks, with no existing savings OR current account...and withdraw a WU transfer in cash? I will be very  if I cannot get her it by her birthday.Thanks. |

georjay: Then why have GTB Bank told my friend that "I am sorry...you have a savings account, you must have a current account for 3 months to recieve a Western Union transfer"!!!! Why?! Is there a bank or shop that she can just walk into...and withdraw the cash? WITHOUT BANKING AT THAT BANK AND HAVING AN ACCOUNT THERE? |

While most banks will tell you this on the face value, don't be carried away. I've used UBA and Skye Bank before now, and sincerely, it's easier if she has an account there, or know someone who does. Although I now own an account in Skye, my first time had me approaching a guy in the banking hall, who signed for me with his account, and let me used his account to withdraw. So, let her go to Skye, and meet the Security guys or the cashier, they are nicer than UBA. Hope this helps. |

If she doesn't have an account with a particular bank she can ask someone who does to Reference him/her, GTbank and Zenith requires strictly current account, others do accept savings, best bank i will recommend is tell her to ask someone who owns a first bank account to reference her. |
