Awee:
In my experience, every bank has their own SLA. You could try and send them a reminder though, Engcontactcentre@ecobank.com

Yea thanks
I have sent them a reminder like twice already.
All they say is they are still investigating.
I just hope they make d refund soonest coz I already need d cash now...

Today is the fourth working day and my money is still yet to be refunded.
I hope these people will keep to their words and rectify things in 3 to 5 working days as they earlier stated.
I urge Ecobank to refund me my 18k o...

IS SHE MARRIED?
Just wanna know..

dearie:
Nice of you to have informed the 'world' of how they have gotten in touch with you. I know some will just disappear after getting the required attention and eventual refund and leave 'us' to conclude the bank ripped them off.

Please I want to crave our indulgence to properly explore the right channels to seek redress before making our complaints public. This is an industry that thrives on people's confidence. Once it is eroded...it takes a lot for the bank to come around it.

This is also calling on different Banks' managements to address the knowledge gaps in their organisations to forestall avoidable occurrences that give rise to this sort of gaffes.

Thanks chief and I understand ur piece.
However one needs a certain level of aggressiveness in sorting some things.
I've heard and seen many lose their money to banks due to ineffective customers' service and banks' lackadaisical attitude.
I never thought to use this medium but was prompted to when I saw the prognosis of d refund being poor judging from my interaction at d customers' service desk.
Many a time, d right channel frustrates, there is room for improvement in our banking system...

Ecobank has contacted me and stated that the issue will be resolved in 3-5 working days.
I expect to have my 18k refunded latest Friday 22nd July.
I'll continue to update as event unfolds..

I appreciate everyone that has contributed on this platform providing one form of assistance or another.
I just received a mail from Ecobank stating they read my post on nairaland. They are already on top of the situation trying to rectify things. I hope they make the refund soonest.
I'll update this platform on how things turn out.
I appreciate everyone ecobank inclusive, thanks.

Madlin:
This cud be painful bt you jst have to keep complaining. Here is a number you can call 01-2260450 or send them Whatsapp msg on 08087603717. They shud be able to help you out.

Thanks a bunch

Machiny:
Call their customer care 07005000000...mine waz sorted out in no time..just make sure you have details you used in opening the accout before calling

Thanks
Please was urs also as a result of mobile transfer issue?

infogenius:
In addition to what you have done, I will advise you call their complaint centre and table your problem. It may receive faster attention than meeting the customer care at the branch.

Such contact numbers are available at the end of every mail the bank sends to you.

Thanks but please....
Will I be allowed access to the manager if I say I want to see him?

adonismuller:
You haven't taken action yet and brought it to nairaland...lol



Try and see their manager they will sort it out

I have been at d customer service desk twice to complain despite my very tight schedule at work. In fact I had to momentarily abscond from work to deal with the issue at d bank. My major concern is just d discouraging body language I'm receiving. No sign of reassurance. And I'm sure it's very unlikely that I'll be opportuned to visit d bank next week.
Thanks for d advice anyway.

Please I need ur advice on how to retrieve my money 18 thousand naira from Ecobank.
It happened on 6th of this month when I used their *326# Eco mobile money transfer platform to send money to my brother.
The transaction didn't go through, yet the 18k was debited from my account balance. I have been at the bank twice, Omida Abeokuta to be specific to complain but nothing has been done. What actually prompted this my proactive measure coming to nairaland platform to seek advice is that the body language at the customer service isn't encouraging and if I'm not aggressive enough I may forfeit my money.
I'm still waiting, giving them the grace of a few days though before taking action. I don't understand why a bank will just mess up with what has sweated to earn.
However, please I still need ur advice on what to do if they still don't revert my money after this hopeful wait.
Is their any superior Ecobank customer complaint service to forward my issue to or a CBN platform to lodge complaints?
Please help a brother.
The nature of my job even doesn't give time for regular visits to d bank to disturb them at the customer service.
I don't mind personal mails to adetayoh2020@gmail.com.
Thanks

Nigeria is filled with hypocritic leaders, religious political alike...

The word “crisis” in the above title is put within inverted commas, because there really was never a hijab crisis, truly so-called, in Osun schools; and there is none today. At least, that was the main claim in my article last Tuesday on this column, entitled, “The true story about hijab in Osun” (The PUNCH, June 28, 2016).
In the present article, I provide some statistical data to back up that claim, as requested by some of my readers. Some of the readers are residents of Osun State, who confirmed that they were often surprised each time they read about hijab crisis in their state. I offer the following statistics for them and for others interested in the truth.
There are 622,726 students in Osun public schools, distributed across 1,194 Elementary, 323 Middle, and 241 High schools. The number of Middle and High schools looks small because many of the schools were merged into larger mega schools, following the reclassification of schools. Hijab is worn by female Muslim students above the age of puberty in many of the Middle and High schools, regardless of whether they are Muslim or Christian schools, although many more students in the former wear hijab than in the latter.
The hijab is a veil, covering the head and chest. It is worn by some Muslim women beyond the age of puberty in the presence of adult males outside of their immediate family. It is, therefore, a symbol of modesty and privacy or cultural practice, rather than a compulsory religious garb for all Muslim women beyond the age of puberty. Nevertheless, like other forms of cultural practice, wearing hijab tends to be perpetuated by Muslim families whose female members engage in the practice. This explains why some Muslim families want their female offspring to wear hijab, while others, like Aregbesola’s family, do not bother.
Until a reporter instigated the principal of the Christ African Middle School, Osogbo, to allow her female Muslim students to wear hijab, in accordance with a court judgment, the so-called hijab crisis had occurred only in one single school throughout the entire state, namely, the Baptist High School, Iwo. Government officials and Muslim leaders quickly intervened in the Osogbo case, and that was the end of it.
But let’s look closely inside the Baptist High School, in order to understand the true nature of the controversy there. As indicated last week, BHS houses five merged secondary schools, namely, BHS, Baptist Grammar School, United Methodist, St. Mary’s, and St. Anthony’s. The last three of these schools came into the merger with hijab-wearing female Muslim students.
The initial resistance by the Baptist Mission to the merger spilled over to the resistance against hijab wearing. The problem was, however, resolved, after the intervention by the government and Iwo community leaders, and female Muslim students, continued to wear their hijab, until politicians got under the skin of some Christian leaders. This happened as preparations got underway for the 2014 governorship election, leading to the first concocted hijab crisis.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, February 4, 2014, and it involved 353 students out of a total student population of 2,123, over 50 per cent of whom are female. On that day, a total of 261 female Muslim students wore hijab, while a total of 92 Christian students (male and female) wore various robes, including choir outfits, revealing their religious affiliations. The BHS was the only school throughout the entire state, where such an incident occurred. Hijab wearing continued, without any hoopla, in the rest of the state, including the other secondary schools in Iwo town.
Yet, the press was ready to go to town with various stories and provocative headlines, such as “Osun schoolchildren in religious war”. Other headlines drew attention to “hijab crisis”, “uniform crisis”, or the like.
Nevertheless, Governor Rauf Aregbesola did not take things for granted. He quickly visited the school to douse the tension and also set up a panel to investigate the incident and make the appropriate recommendations. The panel concluded that the merger of various schools, which suddenly brought hijab wearing to the BHS provoked some resistance by the Baptist Mission, which was able to draw other Christian missions into the fray. This initial resistance made Christian leaders a soft target for political manipulation against Aregbesola and his school re-classification project. However, after the government’s intervention, the school allowed female Muslim students to continue to wear hijab as was the practice in other schools.
Before Aregbesola came on board, the subsisting regulation regarding hijab was contained in Article 8.2 (v) of a 2004 document, entitled, Guidelines on Administration and Discipline in Osun State Public Schools. It states that the use of hijab by female Muslim students shall be allowed in Muslim public schools with the proviso that it shall not be made compulsory, especially for non-Muslim students in such schools. Although the document recommended against the wearing of hijab in Christian schools, that recommendation was never enforced by any administration, because there were many Christian schools with a majority of Muslim population. That’s why hijab wearing by female Muslim students continued unabated in Muslim and Christian schools throughout the state.
It was the resistance to hijab wearing by the Baptist Mission, supported by some other Christian leaders, that led a Muslim students association to approach the court for arbitration in 2013. The court ruled in favour of hijab wearing in 2016, but suggested that the hijab should be in the approved colour of the school uniform in order to minimise its distinctiveness.
It was this court ruling that led to the second hijab controversy in the same BHS. By the time the second incident occurred on June 3, 2016, the school population at the BHS had increased to 2,500. Yet, only 41 female Muslim students wore hijab on that day, while only five Christian students wore church robes. Investigations revealed (1) that the students were instigated by some Church leaders, some even without the knowledge of the students’ parents and (2) that most, if not all, the Christian leaders behind the controversy have no children in the school.
The resistance by the Baptist Mission to Aregbesola’s school restructuring may not have been reasonable, (1) given the government’s take-over of the mission schools since 1975 and (2) given the Muslim majority in the school as in other Iwo schools, where Muslims account for over 70 per cent of the student population; it is nevertheless real for some parents and a fertile site for contestation for others.
It is most unfortunate that some religious leaders would use schoolchildren to achieve political or religious objectives by inciting them to rebellion, instead of encouraging them to learn tolerance in addition to knowledge and skills.
In writing this article, two events crossed my mind. One is the visit by Pope Francis last November to a mosque in Bangui, Central African Republic, besieged by Christian militias to deliver a message of reconciliation. After removing his shoes and bowing towards the holy Muslim city of Mecca, the pope told the people inside the mosque that “Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters … Together, we must say no to hatred, to revenge and to violence, particularly that violence which is perpetrated in the name of a religion or of God himself”.
The second was a flashback to Temple University, Philadelphia, where I taught for over 20 years. I recalled the few female Muslim students in my classes over the years, some of whom wore the hijab in a university that started out from the Baptist Temple in 1884. Its founder, Russell Conwell, was a popular Baptist minister during his time. I hope it will not take the Baptist Mission in Nigeria over a century to understand that a child’s education should not be sacrificed for religious zealotry.

Who will die?

donhils:
I don't know the max amount, but I'm sure you can transfer 200k. Transfers to Diamond bank accounts is free while to other banks cost N105 per transfer.
They've never deducted unjustly from my account since 2010 I opened the account. Unpaid debits from Atm reverts almost immediately.
Another good thing about the Diamond mobile is u only need the person's account number and the system will upload all other info about the person so it's impossible for you to transfer your money to a wrong destination.

thanks

donhils:
Don't be torn, Diamond mobile is by far the best. I used and dumped GTBank mobile, my friend used and dumped Zenith, for over 2yrs now we've both had peace of mind with our Diamond.

What's the maximum amount that can be transferred per day and what's d charge per transfer?
Also what of erratic and unjust deductions from customers' account?
For Diamond bank I mean

I want to open an account and I'm torn btw diamond, first bank and gtb..

Guaranty Trust Bank AKA GTB... The most reliable and most trusted bank- ademoladeji 2016


GTBank is simply a definition of a WELL STRUCTURED ORGANIZATION.


I've never lost a penny since I started banking with her in 2007.

What of erratic debits from ur account. I read they deduct from customers' account unjustly..

KOLA4U:
Honestly GTB works perfectly. Just ensure you get your ATM, TOKEN DEVICE AND ACTIVATE YOUR ONLINE BANKING/INTERNET BANKING. THEN DOWNLOAD THE MOBE APP. IT WORKS VERY WELL. EVEN. QUICK TELLER DOES THE JOB.

TRY IT AND THANK ME LATER.

What's the maximum amount that can be transferred per day and what's d charge per transfer?

Green222:
Diamond Bank all the way. Easy to use and secure. You don't need a token, only to mobile phone, username, password and pin and you are good to go. It's is compatible with no matter how small the android phone

dotcomnamename:
[size=15pt]No, it means they are not part of the 28 members in Europe. It just like a group of people and one said he want to lave the group. It has nothing to do with English Premier League. They will just be like Turkey. Turkey is Europe, they play European football, but they re not part of the EU member. You gerit? [/size]

Yea thanks..

Those making comparison
Did those that spearheaded the campaign antagonize or blackmail d reigning govt?
Do they have a 'Biafra' radio that primarily specialises in blackmailing d country
Is their 'Kanu' foreign based who sneaked into d country in a criminal manner?
Did d agitators of secesion call d UK a zoo?
Was their 'Buhari' insulted by d campaigners of secession?
Answer those questions and compare approaches

The reason why I'm always against this call for Biafra is just coz they were silent all through GEJ's tenure only to surface when power left the southern region..

With this, UK may break too.
Scotland may go coz they don't support Brexit..

Is he related to Oscar Pistorius?

So upon all their bragging, na only to surface on top newspaper headlines and concocted online write-ups they sabi..
Come onto on one deal, our histrionic Fayose and narcissistic sycophants dey scramble behind drums for safety. Awolowo of the 21st century indeed, d spokesman of d opposition my arss..
Abeg let d drama continue..
