Hey guys, abeg I'm going to Dundee any ideas for the cheapest fastest way to get there? Wanna leave on the fifth or sixth of September.

Hi guys, I am looking for someone who wants to send money to Nigeria from UK.

I recently sent a friend £2k to help him solve an urgent problem. The charge for the transaction was almost #37,700. Now he wants to send the money back and it is causing #38,700.

For me I think it is too much for the short period involved(2 wks)

I am looking for someone who wants to send the equivalent to Nigeria. I would ask my friend to pay into his account in Nigeria and he transfers the other to my account.

How long is your stopover?
Under 8 hours or 23hours 45 mins?

Nicur: Please i will like to know the cheapest ticket price from Nigeria to Newcastle Uk and which airline to use or in summary the travel cost from Nigeria to Uk thanks.

One way cheapest ticket is Emirates but hope you like long stopovers
Return ticket cheapest is KLM or Air France

spikesC:

None.
I just traveled with my mastercards and transferred my pounds to my brother's UK account.

Thanks for the info you are passing across regarding the rate of naira to pounds
Hope those cards are not linked to a current account like my GTB mastercard
Without informing you, GTB migrates your Mastercard account from your savings account to a current account(once you open one) just like that
Imagine after charging me 400 for withdrawing , I get hit with about 1400Naira COT charges
Crazy innit!
Bladwy banksters!

Nope, they're not.

One thing you can try is to deposit money into your UK bank account via POS
The charges should be low and you even get cashback from GTB

What's your offer?

you can contact me via PM

You're buying pounds not selling

Thanks guys for responding on time. This is how I think it should be done.

You want to send £2k to Nigeria. And the official exchange rate is #280 per £1(for instant). I transfer (#560,000) to your account in Nigeria and you transfer £2000 to my account in UK. No transfer charges from both of us. And everybody is happy.

That's what I am looking for.

Explain better please
I normally withdrew about 790 quid from RBS [that's the max any ATM allows here], deposit in my account here for spending till it runs low and I do it all over again

Instead of withdrawing from ATM and depositing into your account, you just walk straight into the bank and ask to make a deposit into your account via POS/debit card.

You initially said you have pounds to sell not the other way around.
That is, you pay me pounds in my account, i pay you Naira in your account.

If that's so, kindly send me an email. Thank you

Cool
And GTBank will even pay you for this?

@spikesC, not really . I said my friend wants to transfer equivalent of £2k to my UK's account. However the charges for the transfer is too much. So I am looking for someone who wants to send £2k to Nigeria.

In this case the person transfers the money to my account in UK and my friend transfers its equivalent to his or beneficiary's account in Nigeria.

The person does not have to pay for transfer charge and I do not have to pay transfer charges. And the exchange rate is based on official exchange rate.

A win win situation. I reckon.

Just to confirm, debit card linked to a Nigerian Account....?

Emmagency:

Just to confirm, debit card of a Nigerian bank account....?

What you mean is I walk into Barclays with my GTBank debit card, tell them I will like to deposit some funds into my Barclays acc through POS. Then use the POS as usual and the funds grt into my Barclays without charges from any of the parties involved. And above all I can receive cashback from GTB.

Please, kindly confirm my understanding of this fund transfer process?
Thank you.

Oh, ok.
That's not what i want then

Thanks for the insight Spikes
And to think no one dropped this 'revelation' here since
Na wa O!
I used to think POS was limited to only retailers and supermarkets
Didn't know your bank could do it too
Thanks once again
Though a coursemate who just returned from Naija on Wednesday was telling me today that pounds has spiked afresh
I disbelieved him cos he spit 292/3 naira black market rate at me seeing my GTB transaction of about 2 weeks back was 278.8
Anyone here to to confirm the current pounds to naira rate please?

Naaah, POS can be used for anything. It's just another form of money exchange.

Black market rate is going up while official rate is going down rapidly.
This is because there is a huge scarcity of foreign hard currencies in Nigeria.

The new economic policies is evidently working, if only they can keep up with it.

#275.9 per pound on GT Mastercard + #420 charges. (31/08/2014)

By the way, GTBank doesn't force you to link your current account to your Debit card. When you fill the form for a card to be issued, you have an option to tick "card linking." I have both accounts but my current isn't linked to my savings.

Thanks Don
How body?
Seems the rate is finally going south (downward)
After I don nearly finish my program and am now rounding up
God punish devil

I don't know about card linking cos I did not request for, nor do it
But what I do know was the card was issued on my savings account long ago
I opened a current account quite later on and declined a fresh card issue ( not that they'll issue another Naira Mastercard though or do they)
Before I left Naija, all my transactions ran through my savings account cos the current account was opened mainly for dividend payments
But found when I tried to withdraw with the card here last October, the ATM kept saying insufficient funds
I was almost bunkers knowing I had more than enough funds in my savings account
Only to call GTConnect and be told the card now linked to my current account as that is their standard practice
Also that I should transfer funds from the savings to the current account so as to make withdrawals here
Even it was over the phone they helped me open and I received my Internet Banking details as I told them I didn't activate Internet banking before I left
Biko, how is it that your card is not linked to your current account?
