please can someone explain how.dollar card works n how.to.fund it....all this bank limits is killing business

I am not sure if the process is thesame for all banks, but I know for GTB, you need a USD Domiciliary account to use your Dollar card.

A sort of separate ledger is opened for that card, such that it is not directly linked to your Dom account. Whenever you want to transact with the card, you'll move funds to it from your Dom account.

The card is best for those that earn in USD (bloggers, online marketers, international labour, e.t.c) because if you don't, you'll still have to resort to the abok.is to fund your Dom account.

However, the beauty of your Dollar card is that you are not too limited in your transactions like you are when you use your Naira-denominated debit card.

gidimasters:
420

Jesus!!!

N420/USD?? That's crazy and relatively too high.

GTB charges N320 and Access Bank charges N325.

I won't bother about the activation of the card for web payment anymore. I already contacted UBA to see if I can use its debit MasterCard for international transaction and the bank promised to get back to me this weekend.

Obinnau:
how much is fcmb dollar exchange rate

I don't know. I have not been able to use the card.

I just mailed you.

cmoney22222:
pls can you confirm if Access is not working to skrill. GTB works on netteller

thanks

Skrill accepts my Access Bank VISA card.

gidimasters:
Gtbank 320.64 x fcmb 420, diamond doesn't support international presently except if it's dollar card....


Meanwhile, you can't spend more than 100$ monthly

Hello, which of the FCMB cards do you use for international online payment?

I have a VISA card from FCMB but I am having issues activating it on the bank's ATM. It tells me 'Financial Institution Unavailable' each time I try to change my I-pin. I was also told the bank does not give a MasterCard anymore.

This is Nigeria where anything goes. It's so unfortunate that none of the banks listed allow average Nigerians to make dollar transaction with their cards. Yet, they gain so much from BDC operations.

Hello everyone. There is a new update on the school portal for fresh students. Kindly find attached.

UPDATE: 3:38am Friday, 27th January, 2017

Never underestimate the power of the pen; it can make or mar one.

Access Bank eventually gave in to pressure, withdraws its earlier planned deductions after heavy criticisms from CMs.

But can't our government and private organizations have common sense before the masses agitate their silly programmes and actions?

God help us.

Dear customer, please ignore the SMS sent to you yesterday on card issuance and annual maintenance fee. Error regretted. (From Access Bank)

OPEN LETTER TO NYSC, ACCESS BANK AND CONCERNED CITIZENS

(From an Aggrieved NYSC Corps Member)

I am a Batch B, Stream 1 NYSC Corps member currently serving in Sango Ota, Ogun State. I wish to write of the exploitation, shady deals and inconvenience NYSC Ogun state and Access Bank are putting us through.

During registration in Camp-Sagamu, we were told to compulsorily open a new account with Access Bank (the only bank that came to camp). And just like everybody else I did, despite informing the Access Bank staffs that I was operating an Access Bank account already. (I would leave the bad attitude, gum-chewing and gossip engrossed response of the staff for another day).

Some days to the camp, we saw alerts for our 'allowee' - 19,800 naira. Only to realise later that 1,300naira was deducted for ATM Card without an alert from them. This was the first sign of exploitation and fraudulence. Why?
- an ATM Card is charged for 1000 naira, Where did the additional 300 naira come from? Whose pocket did it go?
- why were we not duly alerted of the deduction?

So, camp closed and we all went back to our homes to prepare for proper PPA resumption. Only for some of us to receive SMS that transactions on our accounts have been stopped due to BVN and signature related issues. The inconveniences this caused left many of my mates stranded. All due to negligence of Access Bank staffs.

Furthermore, within the last 10 days, we have been bombarded with different types of charges, draining an already insufficient 19800 naira.
- Card maintenance fee: 1100 naira
- Monthly Admin processing fee: 105 naira
Postage stamp and others sef join.
Kilode?
Wetin dem dey maintain? After deducting 1300 naira?

State no pay, PPA no pay.....still on top 19800 we go chop, pay rent, transport, buy data, keep body together.
Allowee don finish before e enter sef.

Now the 19800 is being threatened by familiar foes.

As Corps Members, we expect the NYSC to push for discounted initiatives for us, not cut-throat instances we have now.

We appeal to NYSC and Access Bank management to free us from these shackles.

Our vow is in sun and rain.
Not in exploitation and corruption.

So unfortunate NYSC forced Corps members to use this bank. I ran a check on Access Bank website now and I suspect the account opened for Corps members would be 'Solo Savings Account'. But under the features of that type of account, maintenance fees do not apply, plus the bank has violated its conditions for this type of account.

Features & Benefits
A low initial deposit of N500 is required to open the account
No minimum daily balance is required to keep the account open
No monthly maintenance fee
Easy and convenient banking
Free subscriptions to Mobile Banking, and Online Banking
Free access to branches for transactions
Free access to on-campus entertainment and other fantastic promotions
A Subsidized fee of N500 is charged for first debit card issuance

So why is Access Bank milking poor otondos dry?

When you see some so called graduates and their doings, you can't but help ask yourself if they really attended a tertiary institution. After all, if anything happens to this one (God forbid), everyone would start blaming NYSC.

uboma:
the low interest rate is no excuse for anyone to gamble away his means of livelihood.

People who invest in any quick rich scheme is just being plain greedy and will get his/her fingers burnt.

Anyways... You may be right.

There was a day I sat down and surfed the internet to compare the interest rate of banks in Nigeria on fixed deposits, from the feedback I got then, Sterling bank seemed to be the highest with about 6.2% or thereabout.

I could only come to a conclusion that this is one of the reasons money doubling ponzi schemes have thrived gloriously in the country. Some people prefer to risk their money for a higher out-of-reality yield rate than these silly bank rates.

I just hope thesame scenario that played out in the last Ondo state gubernatorial election is not being formed for Ekiti state.

Fayose needs to be smart here if he doesn't want to be killed politically. It is either he dumps PDP (alongside the Makarfi-led PDP) to float a new party or join one of the small parties around (e.g Labour Party, APGA and co), else the troubles in PDP may swallow him come next election. Mimiko is a living example.

nwaanambra1:
your GTB mastercard still work on international platform

mine doesnt work even paypal rejected it!

Yes. But monthly transaction is capped at $100.

eraly:
They should increase international transaction from $100 to like $300-500.


Biko

God bless you sir. That was all I came to check.

Please, apart from Access Bank and GTB, do you know any other bank that allows its Naira denominated debit card to be used for international transaction?

...coming

Hi kenonze, I dropped a mail for you.

Hi everyone.

For the newly admitted students who haven't been able to do the JAJA Clinic health registration, I want to inform you that the portal is now up again and the deadline for registration is 3 days from now.

Goodluck!

This forum is getting worrisome for its unrelenting anti-MMM gospel. In all fairness, we have heard enough of the dangers associated with the Ponzi scheme. Anyone who 'invests' his/her money in the scheme now is doing that knowingly and knowledgeably, so please let the cry stop and let them be.

Like the Yorubas will say "Eni a forolo toni tehunbaje, kini ki oloro o wa se?"

Seun and his people, una wahala too much, abi Banks and governments have started to pay you to promote all these?

Ebend:
Please has anyone been able to register on the jaja clinic site??
No space to enter Jamb registration number just getting the 'unable to register user error'

Hi,

I was able to create an account on the Jaja Clinic website very early today. I was required to upload my passport before proceeding to fill the health questionnaire.

I will have to check back to print my invitation schedule for the chest x-ray.

Try and visit the website again, your inability to access it this morning may be due to a technical glitch. I also logged in again to my page some minutes ago.

Goodluck!

willjoe:
hey bro, i guess u'r an insider. Any hope of any more list to be released?

Hello

According to the recent update on UI's website, there will not be any other list.

See the attached file.

Annibiteye:
It worked, thanks

You're welcome. I am glad it worked.

Hello,

Compliment!

You won't be able to install another Facebook Lite application on thesame android phone outrightly. If you try to, once you get to Google Playstore, you'll only see the "update" or "open" icon on that app.

However, you can download an application called "Parallel Space" on Google Playstore. That application allows you to duplicate any android application on your phone without interference. With that app, you can have two Facebook applications, WhatsApp, and the rest.

Goodluck.

Merry Christmas and an amazing new year in waiting.

mimsyjay15:
pls can i use waec gce to apply for medicine in ui

Yes, you can. However, note that you must pass all relevant subjects in one sitting.

Goodluck!

5Realms:
Thanks alot
Really appreciate your contribution

But I'll stick with the infinix note 3 pro. It's a great device.
Its advantage over every other one is that it's got a great (maybe not so but at least it has) customer service in Nigeria.

I am also thinking of getting the Infinix Note 3 Pro but I don't think it's in Nigeria yet.

Some online tech websites put the expected cost between N70,000 and N75,000.

But really, some Nigerians are naive. What's wrong with Saraki to have sent a birthday cake to Sani - his colleague in the upper chamber?

The gift was from the Senate President and not the Senate.
