Meanwhile has anyone mailed the CBN regarding the issue?

union123:
I wouldn't mind if I see one or two bdcs

Infinitikoncept:
Were you charged from your dorm account or its a naira savings/current account?

gbodimowo:
thanks for the screenshots
however i noticed this was a wire transfer, and their arguments has always been that the dollars used for master card settlement is determined by the software and can not be manipulated so i ask again if you have a software that cant be manipulated where did the glitch as they claim came from? and why did it take them as they claim 3 days to find it and short it diwn? and why didnt they just contact customers for a bilateral settlement if truely it was a glitch instead of unilaterally taking a decision and penalozing customers for their own errors or delibrate mistakes.

gbodimowo:

Hello house, please i need your urgent assistance and expert contribution as i am a novice in this. Please is there a way i can receive money via western union straight to my gtbank euro dorm. account? Sender is from Ireland. In previous times, they always changed it to naira i guess at the official rate because its always very low(220 or so). Never did mind, but now i actually need to make a transaction in euros and i need the money in euros cos if i get the naira official equivalent and try buying euros from bdc(which at my enquiry today is 330 per euro) i'll be brutally short of money for the transaction. I recently opened a gtb euro account but have never used it and i also do not know what to tell her to do over there.

NB: The sender doesnt have a personal bank account and hence cant initiate a wire or such(shes a rev sister and its forbidden). Thanks in anticipation please as i need this info before tomorrow.

gbodimowo:

gbodimowo:

gowaga68:

Infinitikoncept:
Thumbs up man
We say no to the corruption in the banking system
We say no to banks paying us official rates for inbound but black market rate for outbound
We say no to banks debiting us at a rate different from the transaction date rate.
We say enough of this intimidation and harassment.

dejavus:
Actually insurance does cover these type of errors.

And I kid you not.

There was a time when an atm machine was dispensing £20 for every £10 requested, hence people were getting double their request. Guess what, the people didn't pay it back. Google it.

shapman:
#GTBSCAM is trending now

einsteine:
Jokers, all of you. One has to be a fool and/or a thief to believe a bank would sell AUTONOMOUS dollars at a price BELOW interbank rates. As if that's not enough, you all went ahead to make bigger than usual purchases because you wanted to take advantage of an error on the part of the bank.

Shakitibobo:
Hi Guys, please let's stop all this. Really, can we get real for a moment!!! We can not all gang up and destroy our own indigenous companies under the guise of error in exchange rate. things are tough all over the world right now. companies are laying off to stay afloat and the few ones we have, we want to sue them to court and let me guess...... HUGE SUMS OF MANEY ABI? Banks are not Tech companies, they really on other companies to provide technical support and as bad as we hate to admit it, systems fail once in a while.
Due to a system error, they sold dollars at N199, if it were your own business, wont you recoup the loss. We all cant complain about Buhari badmouthing Nigeria where we also are doing the same thing. dragging the bank to twitter or facebook will only shortsell ourselves to the rest of the proud and convince them that we do not have a banking industry that is strong. if we do this, how will we now attract the foreign investment to grow the Naira. MTN, GLO, Airtel have all had several system failures and debited credit from our phones... My DSTV (PREMIUM) expired and I wasn't disconnected, the next time I paid, the instantly debited me and I understood. didn't go around creating a fuss over it. These things happen but doesn't give us the right to destroy our own... just my thoughts sha!!! lets build the economy and grow the Naira (we need these companies to achieve that)
GTB you guys ought to be a lot more careful by the way
God Bless

aikfrank:
Let's not complain in silence, my account is saying trash -50k for what!!!!!

Please let's all send a message to the appropriate. Institution at CBN, I just checked the CBN website and the appropriate mail is cpd@cbn.gov.ng.

Please let us send our complains there, it would carry more weight.

I will create a new thread For this.

aikfrank:
Please let's do this in one voice

You don't need people to join you before fighting for what you believe in . If you know you are right then institute a court action against gtb and sue them for millions ,if you win it is all good. Great ppl don't wait for crowd or others to join them before fighting for whatever they know is right. If you know you have a case then go ahead and build a case against gtb

Justin28:

frebor:
So Gtbank heard you want to sue and quickly released this?

gbodimowo:
Are you all aware first bank had an issue on friday,sent an email with an alternative and sent an email to wxplain the peoblem and thanked those who stood by them?

so why il GTB claim to have a problem , yet not inform customers about itt instead come up with a conclusion and tell us to accept and pay for an error that isnt ours.

i say NO note abandoning the account is a No option as BVN il hold you back
this brazing act of rape and daylight robbery has to end and this has to be the case that il end it

i qant those accusing the bold ones to know this

when you call on weekends you get friday rates, i want you to know that according to the banks the rates are calculated by the software and not subject to manipulation

that last statement is a common saying if u call any of the customer care services


FYI i qant to put this up for the ITKs here to answer


how il u explain a paypal transaction done on a friday at 1pm and debited immediately at 270 only to be refunded by seller 3pm via paypal due to insufficient stock and your refund doesnt show up until 4 days in your bank at a rate of 228 remember the debit.n refund was same day on paypal 2hrs apart but d cash was taken immediately for debit n returned 4 days later
