Hello, Ekitiman and All.

Hope you are having a fine day.

I am about to do a fresh application with the ikoyi office in mind as it is the closest to me.

I stay in Ajah, Lagos. Not sure if there is any other office around.

If i do DIY, do you know if i can get this passport ready in say 2-3 weeks?

Also, considering the recent upgrade, if i have an active Nin with correct information and no need for age attestion, what other documents do i need?

Like the Local Government thing, since i am not from Lagos, is there a way to get the one of my state in Lagos without travelling to my local government for it?

Thank you.

Your tracking number with end with an R. If it is not registered, it will end with an E. This is for Speedaf.

No, the question and answers is what the thread is for. Idea sharing.

The cashier told me I would not be able to transfer into it but people on this board have told me that she was wrong as they were able to transfer into it. I did not pay upfront and they deducted from my first dollar deposit which was very annoying at the time. There are no transaction fees,all you pay is the annual fee.
Okay. Thanks a lot.

Mine is a GTB dollar account, not domiciliary. The fee is ten dollars per year and you only need bvn, photograph and id card to open it.
Ohh. Okay. Can you transfer to it, and did you pay $10 upfront, and in what currency, if yes.

Also, are there any individual transaction fees attached?

No vex for my 1000 question o

I bought $135 at 765 per dollar at Abeokuta itoku market in the afternoon , deposited it in my GTB dollar account,got home and hit the pay now button. Summer sales is now taken care of and I'm likely to stick with the dollar account for payments in the future. The virtual cards are getting problematic.
What charges are attached to running a dorm account with GT. Like overall charges pls.

Please how to fix this error of funding. Even bank transfer is not working.
They all face the thing from time to time, as they always claim NIBBS is down. In this, there's really no fix but to wait. Or use the other methods available, but you must expect delays.

You don't think there's any drawbacks
Like maybe I'd have to pay more to get it
I'm quite skeptical about it due to the fact that tracking is unavailable too
You don't have to pay more to get it... There will be tracking actually, but if you have your mind already fixed on using the paid shipping, then you can pay. Personally, i don't pay for any order with free shipping. In fact, i almost always filter for free shipping.

It is definitely FAKE. I bet if you open it up, you will see a 64gb or 128gb micro SD card inside. It is still "serving" you cos you have not filled it beyond what the SD card can carry.
I'm also betting that the speed you are getting is what a micro SD card can offer and nothing close to what a SSD can achieve.
They are not fake. They don't match the bigger brands for speed, but they do well for their prices. They'd only be considered fakes if they were cloning the bigger brands.

Ok, so I'm trying to buy 3 things on AliExpress
Is the free shipping option a good idea
Because if I'm paying for shipping
The shipping fee is actually higher than the price of the things I want to buy altogether 😪😪😪

Please help me
Continue with the free shipping.

I ordered three goods from AliExpress with shipping fees. Speedaf sent a text for only one, where can I find the remaining goods?

They said I should come to their office but distance is not good. If I am to pay their 400 delivery fee will it be for the 3 goods? Or 400 each to make it 1200
Possible that they combined the orders.

So you mean everything they said about the custom fee is not real, like they were trying to extort him?
So it appears. He collected it for 40k in the end.

My wife (with same surname) sent me a Google Pixel 7 through FedEx.

Phone was seized by customs

Got a mail to pay duties and taxes of about 157k for phone to be released.

Long story short: I negotiated and paid 50k before phone was released.

My strong Advice: Go in yourself and negotiate with the customs official at UPS NAHCO to get your phone released ASAP before your phone get stolen or they begin to tell you stories that touch.
He went there today, and they said the 50k. Everything appears fraudulent.

Please guys, can ups custom clearance be negotiated?

My friend had an iPhone 11 shipped for him through ups.

Ups are saying he has to pay 90k+ for clearing the phone.

Is this proper?

Can it be negotiated?
Anyone?

I don't understand,why would someone try to buy something when his balance cannot cover the purchase. Sounds like attempted fraud to me.
Maybe because the rates are constantly changing?

Also, some don't know that you must have a minimum balance.

SCB is good.... i don't know why them no want open branches all over.
Maybe because of the cost of going business or they just want to remain exclusive.

Noticed their support on phone are even foreigners.

Overall, they are cool. Free everything.

No all these charges like other banks, free transactions, etc.

Apart from their app that i find tiring to use, i love em.

Bro that's their policy, i once asked them, why don't i just transfer the money from my account to my dollar account instead of going to a branch, they said it's their Policy, i guess you must come with physical naira to make the exchange there with the people in charge of that one.

Again, i own a dollar card with them, a physical gold dollar card, all you have to do to get it is get two reference and apply for it, download the form, your two reference, should put their full details and sign, you upload it back and finish up the registration. All registration is done in their app.

You then apply for the card, after that it will be sent to your home address, you can use the money in side to pay for any local POS or ATM, u recently received money in it from Payoneer.

They don't charge you a dime for any transactions
I use SCB... Apart from their drab mobile app, they have been great. I love em.

Please, about the reference, any account type will do?

I already have the regular card tied to my naira account.

Must the refs be from their bank too?

I ordered a phone and phone case from different sellers on the 15th of April and I chose AliExpress Standard Shipping for both.

The phone seller shipped with Singapore Shipping while phone case seller used Speedaf. I got a call this morning to pickup the phone at the post office while phone case is still stuck with the Customs failed message.

Does that mean the airport strike did not affect shipments that came via the Post Office?
Abeg, which phone you buy?

From someone that did the dollar card Only option recently, she was charged in $10 cuz she must provide it before issuance, not in Naira as before.
You fund your card yourself and funds can't be transferred unlike Dom account.
You must buy $ from off-bank source to fund your account, which means, nothing like official rate.
You'll get physical Dollar card.
With the current happening, can someone with dorm still buy at official rate in the bank?

GTB have two distinct fx accounts,the dorm and the GTB dollar card. You pay at least$15 per annum for the dorm account and you need two referees who are current account holders.
The second is the GTB dollar card, for that you only need a savings account,$10 ,bvn and passport photo.
Oh. Thank You. I already have the GT dorm created but i haven't used it that much. Was wondering if after the yearly fee of $10 they told me about, if there are any other charges that comes with using the account regularly.

Dollar refund is faster than dollar to Naira. While GTBank Naira MasterCard was still active, my refund is usually 24hrs - 48hrs. My Dom account na within 24hrs on the average.
Hello, please, is your dorm GT too?

If yes, are there any charges to running the dorm except for the yearly $10?
