donchuky:

Firsttymum. I don't think so cos we spent less than 3 mins with the houston cbo and this is wife first time in US. No document was asked just the normal pay ur bill and have the receipt bla bla. From my experience I think coming with ur hubby is very good.

firsttymum:
the thing dey vex me en. Someone advised visa card.... So I'm gonna experiment on it are they all master cards? I also tried gtb same thing... Is the access master card?

shelly23:
I have, same on for both kids sef (4yrs apart). You'll need to buy a step down (I think that's what it's called) to use it though.

Okie so this BOA thingy got me thinking.
1. How do u fund the account?.
Do u lodge in cash which I surmise you got from ur PTA (wch is ur case is $4k)... If u did, then haven't that defeated the point that u wanna do self (cash) payment.
2. Reviewing the bank charges and monthly charges, correct me if I'm wrong (because I got no clue on weda dis boa guys have got ATM surcharges) but comparing the resultant charges on the BOA card and the fact that you have grossly moved ur cash in hand into credit balance with the bank doesn't that have its own negating effect as it is.
3. If u are eventually going to fund it from ur own account by intl swift transfer I bliv u are gonna yet be paying the same bank charges wch u were running away from in the first.?!

The thought process goes on more than I care to type perhaps I need to be properly schooled in that regards.

At the end of the day, after careful consideration (to the best of my kpako sabi-ish) the best gamble is to buy PTA hard cash and use cards for important POS n online transactions wch u can't get away from.

My take though waiting to learn more...

Just like I promised I used the west Houston birthing center and paid $3214, my tests from Nigeria was used. Scan was inclusive in d cost as Holly conducted 3 scans. I used a Jewish doctor for circumcision and paid $400 cos he came to my house but he normally charge $300, if u go to his place of practice. Had one pediatric visit plus one immunization which I paid $147. We had to go to d local government office to get an expedited bc as far one day was meant to be posted was delayed a bit cos of d mistake in d name from d birthing center. Hubby was not comfortable sending baby's blue passport for visa so we got a letter from d Nigerian embassy in the form of an emergency certificate We left for Nigeria exactly 4weeks after birth.

firsttymum:
Olokings and Ozycy u have succeeded in confusing.

Ozycy do u mean u were charged 3 dols when u withdrew with ur BoA card?

Beryl15:

What exactly did you send to the embassy? And how did you go about it?
I just check and doc required are:
Proof of citizenship
Police report and
Return ticket to Nigeria.

Firstly, the cash/self payment package in the hospital doesn't necessarily mean paying in hard cash. I think its better termed upfront payment. U can also use ur card, swipe and use d debit option or count out the cash; Whichever way, as long as the hospital gets paid immediately.

I think most people open bank accts in order to avoid keeping or carrying around so much cash. Its also easier to use for online shopping et al - than 1 naija bank saying I can't spend more than $300 or so. My wife travelled with over 8k and I got her to open the BOA acct but when I hear say the minimum bal. na $1500, fear grip me... . plus if ur bal goes less than that in a month, u get charged around $7. They also opened a savings acct for her too. Anyways, I'm going to go into the bank on mon to talk to them cos my sis (who has had an acct for over 3yrs) doesn't abide by the min bal thingy and she doesn't get the monthly charge either

I'm not sure oh, but I don't know of any individual that funds their amelica acct by swift transfer from naija.. I'm sure the bank charges r ridiculous (as usual). Most peeps jst bring in d cash and deposit it

shelly23:
Not sure if you're based in Lagos. I got it from Park n shop in VI for 2k, but this was back in 2011.

You can get step down from anywhere,it comes in various sizes,just explain to them what you want it for.
