Please praise the Lord with me. I'm still too happy to read further details. Temmy, Deji and other senior colleaque thx for your encouragement and pls let me know what next.

Ganjafama: @kemmeye it's either you are a teenager or in your early twenties. Your comments have been nothing but senseless and irresponsible. You can insult me for I care but I am saying the truth.

saxywale: Olodo rabata, quack cso indeed, u must be a cretin. So you think a customer would just pay you a visit then open an account with your bank without some prior knowledge of what he wants. I only opened the account cos it was one of the few savings account in Nigeria that accepts cheque payment through clearing. Really sanusi needs to do a lot of work, you lot must think the customers are stupid.



This oga doesn't even know what is meant by a welcome pack. LOL. I am sure he's a customer service manager in a naija bank. Let me educate you just as I educated the lad at the Fidelity bank, when you open a bank account, even if It's the most basic the bank offers, you are sent the welcome pack which includes, a thank you letter, how to use the account, what to expect from the account, small prints/t&c of the account. This is sent after necessary risk and kyc checks must have been carried out. It could take a week or two to come by post in Advanced countries, you might need to obtain the pack in a Nigeria branch.

Ofuks: I think you are the original Olodo. The documents stating the terms and conditions of a Nigerian bank account comes with the account opening package...isnt it strange for a sane man to sign a contract before reading the T & C? Well, ofcourse you dont work in Naija. You work in Niger. Mscheeew.

Idango: Im a costmer of firstbank and i want to tell you a few things you dont know:

1. My friend who live in California had an account in first bank before, he also has a firstbank naira mastercard, he uses that card to pay for things he bought in the us. If you are owing him, he will tell you to pay it into his first bank account, he spend his money in firstbank over there in the US. It is only first card that you can use overseas without being questioned whether it is a nigerian card. Just try it, since then i also got a first bank naira master card and discovered that i use it anywhere all over the world.

2.Do you know you can sit in the comfort of your room or office and connect to your www.1stbanknigeria-online.com and access your account or transfer money to any account in any bank in nigeria? This also can be put on your phone and you can do business online on your phone. Gtbank also has improved greatly in terms of online banking, with Gtbank you can even transfer fx currency from your domiciliary account to any account all over the world in addition to transfering to any bank within nigeria.

temmytanny: you are right,i have a friend that got a N100m contract from a company. He has his company account with first bank. the company paid 15% of the project into his account over a month ago and up till now First bank has been playing pranks on him refusing to giving the money to do the project.

stalwartnaija: Quality customer relationship and service delivery is one business principle that Nigerian companies lack. Be they banks, telcos, or even roadside traders - all are poor when it comes to providing service that is pleasing to the customer. For the banks they are more concerned about generating deposit and creating income disregarding the fact that all these will come when you serve your customers well. Anyway, these things do happen in an undeveloped market like ours. Coming to First Bank, it took me one full year to receive their welcome package when I opened an account with them.

doctokwus: Welcome to d ATM wonderland of first bank;can't 4get d wonder their machine performed on me last year:clearly heard d amt I indicated being dispensed by d ATm machine,but d slot just wudnt open,as if(whc I highly suspect) had fraudulently fixed d slot to prevent it from opening.I lost dat mony,but evryday wish dat pson or scheme by dat bank wud b fished out

debetmx: First Bank is the most useles bank in Nigeria. I used their ATM on Friday 23, 2012 and the failed to dispense while it credited my account. I made a report at their head office on Tuesday 27, 2012 and she said i shld wait 4 three days up till now nothing as been done.

challawa: i was so much disappointed with first bank today, they lack competent staff and there service delivery is terrible

saxywale: I opened a fidelity bank account not long ago, I went into the branch 3 weeks after to demand for the terms and conditions of the account, the customer Service officer smiled and asked what I meant by terms and conditions, true story ..

2buff: Wow. omo wetin your ogas do to all those mopol wey suppose guard things?

puplin: I actually witnessed a bullion van robbery about 2yrs ago in owerri. Twas like an action film, come and see how they pumped bullets into the bullet proof van till the van no fit move again. Funny thing is, the van was moving with 3 escort vehicles so mopol wey dey inside go be like 20 & they all ran for their lives. Then, this young guy just opened the side door and ran into my grandma village...i wonder how he wasnt hit by any bullet. Then the robbers used gas cylinder to break open the vault and left with 4 5ft long round bags, i can only imagine how much was in those bags. Oh, i was on d roof of my grandma house while all d drama ensued.
