Very well articulated by a staff of Intercontinental bank I presume.

However the aim and purpose of your article has been defeated by your statement "with Zenith, UBA, Oceanic trailing far behind" In order words you insinuate your bank is stronger than those banks. Isn’t this De-Marketing? You are simply hypocritical; it is just unfortunate for you that it is your bank that is in the line of fire right now. That said, I wish your bank well and do not hope for any bank in Nigeria to fail.

Meanwhile, I gather your bank officially sent a threatening message to a blogger for airing his view. If true, why employ such Gestapo tactics to such a sensitive matter?

Kazuya, You are such a laugh. After making a stupid comment on a sensitive topic you end up putting up a link to divert viewers here to advertise your wares you probably bought from Ebay with stolen credit card information.

You are a nonemtity, Arrow & an ignoramus. Probably a yahoo yahoo boy

This "de-marketing" and "Banking Policy oversight” excuse being given by Intercontinental Bank is inadequate to address this public outrage and loss of confidence in the bank. Honestly speaking this matter has spiraled out of control.

Nobody has categorically named the banks that have March 31st as year end in order to appropriately apportion supposed De-marketers, and Intercontinental bank has not officially refuted claims that its Policy to increase minimum deposit for Savings account from N1,000 to N10,000 was not a cash mobilization drive to bail it out of illiquidity as being claimed by http://www.proshareng.com and numerous posters. If both issues are not clarified, the far reaching consequences of this matter cannot be overemphasized.

I consider the bank’s reversal of its Savings account minimum to N1,000 without proper explanation to it esteemed customers as to why it was increased to N10,000 in the first place as poor damage control by the bank.

In my earlier post I had rebuked people wishing Nigerian banks to fail which I pray and don’t believe will happen but in the same strength I also advocate for some banks to treat its customers with due respect and regards.

Another idiot attempting to start another baseless rumour about Zenith bank.

What is it with you guys? Joblessness or mischief?

What is said here makes no difference. How do I know?; I have tried advertising here and on Nairalist for sale of multi-million Naira products and strategic investment information and the only call I got was from a conman. Therefore I have every reason to believe that 90% of people who come here are either job-seekers, Nigerians abroad who see it as a means to be in touch with home or yahoo boys.

However I have read in the papers today (THISDAY) about banks De-marketing each other and last week I read from the same daily an ad by Intercontinental bank apologizing to its customers about a disruption in service. On these grounds anybody has the right to add up and come with whatever conclusion/s  because as they say "comments and opinions and free but facts are sacred" that said, I am strongly convinced that  your comments and opinions about Nigerian banks on this forum will not even matter, let alone trembling customers to desert those banks being rubbished here.

My company operates massive corporate accounts. We have banked with Zenith for over 10years and recently GTbank as substitute. Before Zenith& GTB it was Union bank but we had issues with their service however we still fix funds with them once in a while. I have no reason to worry about these 3 banks.

We Nigerians have a disgusting character of belittling our own and this is part of the reason we suffer indignity when we travel abroad and those of us who live there are looked down upon.  If giants like Citi bank and AIG are right now in murky waters and being bailed out by the US government and we are not relieved that same has not happened here rather we are wishing for it to happen simply because it is imagined that Nigerian banks are frauds when several of them are ranked amongst the worlds top 500, then something is fundamentally wrong. Also a single American has perpetuated a scam worth over $56billion yet it is Nigeria’s image that is internationally dented for 419 when the total amount made by 419ers is a far cry from that amount.

My sincere advice to likes of "Fine cat" and “Sweet T” is that they should quit their wet-blanket attitude and be constructive and positive in comments and arguments on sensitive issues like this.
