First Bank Wahala by Nobody: 10:57am On Nov 28, 2020
I woke up dis morning and decided to buy data through my bank account (first bank),N100 worth of data, First bank deducted the N100 without crediting me data I thought it was network and tried it again same thing happened, they deducted another N100 without crediting me(making N200)
I then called Glo customer care,then they told me the fault wasn't from them since they didn't send me any message, Then they told me to contact first bank

I am also a victim, 100*3times.
I have to use another bank.
Another day again, l tried it, same result but it was later reversed. May be my first transaction of 100*3times was reserved as well.

Mine was #500. Useless bank
Re: First Bank Wahala by Nobody: 6:45pm On Nov 28, 2020
From all observations on the comments, I'm thinking that first bank are indirectly extorting our money
Re: First Bank Wahala by PlsBanMe: 7:09pm On Nov 28, 2020
First bank is the most useless bank in Nigeria. They stole 10k from me during COVID-19 lockdown when they deducted my money but they made the transfer to fail.

I complained severally. Wrote CBN twice. Seems like CBN is worse than them. They didn't even reply other than a auto generated email.

Useless bank. Ediot central bank

For airtime transaction funds us blocked pending wen nerchant claims funds,however if transaction is unsuccessful funds will be released to ur balance within 48 working hours but if successful ur account will be debited.
As it is now the funds is blocked on ur account.
If u check ur balance u will see a difference if #200 between ur available and book balance.

At times, they don't reverse it.

Re: First Bank Wahala by Nobody: 3:05am On Nov 29, 2020
I still have some transactions that are yet to be reversed from First Bank. Transfered funds to my other account, uninstalled first bank app and burnt my SIM.

I like peace of mind.
Re: First Bank Wahala by celwonder(m): 7:22am On Nov 29, 2020
I have accts with like 4 different banks but as per airtime I prefer recharging with First Bank x894# or Mobile app because if the recharge fails, it is always returned. I can bet on that.

Pls note that First Bank might not necessarily send alert for reversed failed airtime. U av to go tru ur acct statement on the mobile or get it printed to c it.

First Bank has their many faults but when it comes to airtime recharge, they are good.
Re: First Bank Wahala by jayinfo2(m): 7:29am On Nov 29, 2020
I'm sure u didn't check your account statement. They would have reversed it, but won't necessarily send an alert for it. I use first bank too and most failed transaction are reversed if not almost immediately, but less than an hour. Pls check ur account statement
Re: First Bank Wahala by ICEWIN: 8:39am On Nov 29, 2020
SAME WITH ME. I DID TRANSFER,I WAS DEBITED BUT THE RECEIVER WAS NOT CREDITED. I BOUGHT AIRTIME,I WAS CREDITED BUT DID NOT RECEIVE THE AIRTIME
Re: First Bank Wahala by heed101(m): 10:19am On Nov 29, 2020
Always check your balance. Failed transactions are always reversed without sms alert to avoid 4 naira sms charge on failed transaction reversal.

It is blocked on ur account.
If u have a mobile app y can check.There will b a difference between ur available and book balance of the amount if airtime purchased.
It is usually realised within 48 working hours if confirmed failed.
