Thank you Adisa. I will go to Sterling again. God bless you

Thank you very much for your assistance, Adisa.

Please, let us be properly guided and save some energy. Banks still fund fintiba account with form A at a rate you cannot get from anyone (black market or Agents in Germany).

Like my friend Adisa told me, 'bankers don't like going away from routine and most times it is easier for them to tell you straight up that the funding cannot fly'. Persist and suggest politely that they call head office and enquire because your friend just did same thing.

The commonest challenge we usually have with the application is that the fintiba document carries your name as the beneficiary's name. To circumvent this, go through the fintiba app and use fintiba transfer. Follow the prompt with 'recommended transferwire' and get a transfermate document at the end. At this point, you will see that you are required to pay in dollars and the beneficiary's name is no more your name.

I eventually paid through Keystone bank and surprisingly, with the fintiba document. All I was asked to do was to change study fee I wrote as purpose of payment on my form A to upkeep.

I hope this helps someone.

MrAAA2:


You cannot open a different account for that, it's like opening an account for your school.
Transfer the money out to a Sterling account and fill the Form A. It takes about a week.

Thanks very much

Adisa471:
Go to sterling Bank and tell them it is for blocked account. If the staff doesn't understand tell them to call their hq in Lagos to confirm. Tell them your friends have done it successfully with Sterling Bank.

I did mine on Monday(this week) and the payment was debited on Tuesday morning. In short, Fintiba gave me my blocking details on Thursday. It was so fast, e shock me sef.

Please use Sterling Bank. I had to open a new account with them but it was worth it.

Thank you Adisa. I will go to Sterling again. God bless you

Hello guys

I seriously need assistance! If you have done blocking through a Nigerian bank or you know someone who did and the person will be willing to guide, kindly respond.

From this platform, I learnt that Sterling and Access were the best plug. But since May, 2021 I have moved from Sterling to Access and Keystone bank trying to block without success. The first two told me after I contacted them a little after a month of submission of Form A and relevant documents that the transaction was declined because it is a blocked account. Access bank went further to request that I provide a document from my school. The school obliged and sent a document acknowledging the fintiba account I opened. They added that it's a prerequisite for Visa application but this changed nothing. Keystone on the other hand gave me false hope when they debited me on Wednesday only to call yesterday morning to say that they cannot pay into the account since my name is the beneficiary's name. They also said that I wrote 'study fee' on the Form A while the money was for upkeep. And they would prefer I provide an account whose beneficiary's name will reflect the name of the school. A friend who works at the bank made further inquiries and got back to me to cancel study fee and write upkeep. Now I discussed this with the manager of the branch but she insisted that she's not processing upkeep with form A before I cause her to lose her job.

At this point, I am confused and I don't know what to think or do. Am I making a mistake in the filling of the form? Can I actually have an account with Fintiba that can combine the name of the school I am going to and my name as the beneficiary's name? Is there a change in bank policy against funding of German blocking with form A?

Please anyone with useful information should help me. I trust you will be helping some others sooner than later.

Apologies for the lengthy write-up. God bless!

Fatalveli:
Use access bank form A

A friend of mine in Access told me form A is for school fees or medical bills. I was told same thing at Zenith.


Please has someone successfully blocked using form A?

MrAAA2:


I hope it works for you.

It's trusted just like every other online transactions.
It takes up to 3 business days
You only need your debit card details.

This 'I hope it works for you' dun weak me.

Please, if anyone has gone through transfermate, kindly notify us.

Even at the Zenith bank today, many guys there were like the money is too big to take that risk, which is obvious. Only one guy told me that it will go through once I have a mastercard, daily limit not withstanding and he has seen it. When I asked if it was with transfermate, he said no, it was another third party guys.

I even mailed fintiba to know if some Nigerians have used that in their immediate past record. Waiting for their response though.

Hello guys

Please has anyone done or knows someone who funded his fintiba account using the fintiba transfer third party, TransferMate?

Is this trusted?
how long can it take?
Do I need to get anything from my local bank?

Thanks

Good Morning guys

Has anyone any idea if there's a Nigerian Bank that can fund Fintiba account and how much they currently exchange?


Thanks!

Please has anyone going to University of Potsdam tried opening Fintiba account?

I can't find the University on their list.

Hello

Good morning everyone.

Does anyone have any idea if the German embassy request for WAEC scratch card...especially for PhD applicants?

Good Afternoon Everyone

There was a discussion earlier on this thread about the arrangement of documents at the embassy but I can't find that now. Please can someone help me with how documents ought to be arranged? Are there other documents I could be asked to present that is not on their list?

This warning that you shouldn't come with bags...does it include school bags?

I would also appreciate tips on avoiding obvious errors.

Thanks a bunch.

Good afternoon everyone.

Please I need an advice on something choking me right now.

I have been waiting for appointment since last year for my Masters study in Germany. I booked for Cat B though.

Few weeks ago I tried to have a go on the PhD application since I have a master's degree already from Nigeria.

I received a letter of Invitation from a supervisor but this is not a scholarship...though he said on arrival, he could help me find a scholarship or something similar.

I applied for appointment this morning and got booked 30minutes later and I have got just 10days.

Now the issue is what is my fate, if I am unable to block in 10days?
Must I block?

Thanks
