Ajibade123: please guys I saw a cheap free shipping air bud on alliexpress and I am willing to buy it but it keeps rejecting my Kuda and Opay card. How do I pay for the transaction
Those ones are not cards. You need a dollar card to pay.
goodlife4every1: The dispute team kept on asking I return the item via the Post Office. NIPOST can't ship to the address given and FedEx can't too. DHL can but I will have to pay N134,000. I asked for a partial refund to fix the phone but it wasn't fort coming.
goodlife4every1: Avoid shopping with High Tip Mobile _Brand Original Phone Store on AliExpress. They sell faulty phones to buyers. I lost $177.98 shopping with them. No help from Aliexpress dispute team/customer care.TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
Funny thing is, i was looking to buy the same phone from the same store. Saw some fine reviews from Nigerians, and then your own review.
They didn't offer you any refunds anymore or they stuck to the $15?
Justed: I need help, my redmi 9 is turning on and off immediately. After giving me several signal to free up space and update android system which I ignored... And I need direction to 16, saka tinubu st. victoria island. From Iyana ipaja
icon91: What does this news mean for a common/lay man??
Both in short/long term, better days or more pending doom??
Those that understand this Fx & all these economy stuff very well should throw more light on this issue so that man will know his stance well & get prepared for what's coming
I don't think we will face any further hardship than we have now, giving that we weren't getting the FX at the official rate anyways. I think the government just decided to openly face the reality, and things should be slightly cheaper. At least, in the nearest future.
jboixxx: [color=#0000ff]You'll need to. When I opened Dom account last year, I was asked to fill a new form and 2 guarantors. Mind you, I have savings and current accounts with them since 2009. [/color]
Currently in the bank now. The ladies told me i needed to bring references, i told them that that's not what i heard. Another guy gave me an agreement form to fill, and proceeded. I have done everything now, they said the account number will be sent later. I didn't fill nor bring the guarantors.
I also have had an account with them since 2012.
These banks seem to have different rules or staff that are not properly informed.
Broskyjames: Funny story lol i got my Chipper Dollar Card for free in January, then i linked it to my Apple Music, defaulted on the Apple Music Payment because of network issue and Chipper promptly cancelled my card to avoid chargeback at thier end, and now they are requesting for 2k to create another one 😂.
But 2k is very fair compared to what others are offering, so Chipper might be the way to go for virtual dollar cards for now.
Yes o. The 2k is very fair now. I have my own card still active but i haven't used it this year. Maybe it is time to go back.
Babalegba: If you have a similar account with them already then there is no reason for them to be asking you to supply the same documents over again for example someone with a current account should be able to open a domiciliary account on the spot while someone with a savings account should be able to open a dollar card account. It's just common sense but unfortunately it's lacking in Nigeria
This would have made sense, but since it is a foreign currency, these roadblocks are put to sort of dissuade people from flooding it. Before our official currency turn another country currency. It is not even allowed to have another country's currency account in other countries.
Broskyjames: As in, i actually took out time within the past 2 days to try about 8! of these fintechs offering VC services and i was met with a stiff brick wall!. Gotok is/was still the best I've used, and i am predicting if they come back, thier stance will be just as stiff. I don't blame them tho, i think most of them have card issuers outside of here, and the financial burden of that is enormous. I read they actually have to remit to the card issuer whenever one uses the card, even if the transaction failed due to insufficient balance!.
Yes. I watched a video of the CEO of Cardify talk about some of the challenges they face, and the issue of charge backs and fraud. Still some of these their charges are just too much for the average user. At the rate other are going, Chippercash, the rejected stone might just become the cornerstone again.
Babalegba: Yes they do.The banks have trust issues and who can blame them
They no well o. . I remember when i created the account in 2013, the guy called me later without telling me he was going to verify the address. He was lost and called me to tell me that he couldn't find the house, i told he wasn't serious, and he should find it, I ended the call. That evening, they sent me my account number. Really shocked to learn that they still do it till date. I like the bank sha. Always free hall when you enter.
Babalegba: 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.
I should do the same. Those fintech guys are becoming something else.
