If the tenor is 91 days, then the interest you got is correct.

Unfortunately 200K is below the minimum amount allowed for secondary Treasury bills purchase.with Stanbic 200K should be okay for the primary market if I am not mistaken, but you need to drop your application latest by 1 pm on Tuesday preceding the auction date. If I were you, I will submit the application now towards the next Primary market date, to avoid story that application has closed again
Yes you can submit your application anytime.

I need some clarifications on this T-bills if you can help. I bought some treasury bills for this 14/1/2019 and I opted for the 182 days duration. This been my first time, I am a bit confused. The rate I saw from the CBN is 11% but when I calculated the percentage I got from my bank when the money was collected it was 6.6% now my question is, is this how it works or the bank is just trying to reap me off?

Interest rate is usually per annum. Since you are doing 182 days, it means you are getting half the annual interest.

I did 182 days with Zenith Bank the interest I got was 6.6% do you think that is the correct interest for 182 days?

This one pass me o. 6.6% is too low for 182. There must be an error somewhere

Kindly quote amount you invested and the supposed upfront interest you got as well.

My mind is telling me you did not do your calculation properly.

That's serious o. I hope I won't av such experience sha. Am just trying them for the first time anyway. I only subscribed to a 37day investment in Dec. It going to mature by 24th of this month. Till then I will know my next move.
It is also a sort of cheating since they are not paying the rate upfront. Except one has another means of livelihood and don't really depend on the interest before it matures.
Thanks @ barrytone
I have been using the i-invest app for my TB because I am abroad and not easy to run the normal TB from here.
Yes the I-invest don't pay upfront interest but rather the interest is re-invested together with your principal to give a higher interest after the tenor matures.
For example you invest 1m for 364days at 14%, your interest should be around 140 k +- , but you realise that you interest will be around 160k, meaning your interest was compounded (your rate becomes about 16%).
It is a good app to invest in when you don't need the interest to use immediately.
Thanks

Thanks, from all indications it seems a good app, plus you see as your money grows daily and you see their various rates on daily basis.

Please am at the bank. I want to invest with my interest with amount of 2m. Their rate will show by 10a.m.
But I need someone to use 14% for me. What will I get.

For one year the interest is 280K. But you will need to divide 280K by 365 days and multiply by the number of days you get at the bank (ie tenor) to get your actual interest.
Good luck at the bank

OK like what happens at maturity on the I -invest app, will your investment and the interest earned move from the 'portfolio balance' to the wallet balance?.

Please lets not be quoting 365 days as a tenor. It is 364 days.

it's correct bro.

That 13.1% is for 364 days but you invested for 182 days which is half of 364 days so, your interest would be divided by 2.

For the new guys that are having calculations issues, if you had read few pages you would have gotten a spreadsheet. Just save that spreadsheet on your phone. It calculate everything you need about TBills. Thanks.
Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by MysTeerioz(f): 1:13pm On Jan 18, 2019
Hi guys,
I'm new to this and have read up and inquired as much as possible and though I've a lot of questions and many unclear areas the most important question I've have is:

Is it advisable to invest in T-bills now this close to another election (seeing as the inflation rate is almost certainly going to rise) or do I wait until after when it stabilised?
