You people have crippled Wema Bank Lmao.

I'm trying to make transfer using Opay to my friend's Wema account. Opay says Wema Bank's network is down (@ 30% efficiency)... and thus I can't proceed with the transfer lol

You're lucky that you've not made the transfer. In May, my money was hanging for over 5 days before it finally dropped on Klasha wallet.

Alat sent out a mail and a public announcement. How more official do you want it to be. It didn't stop them from charging 953.08 for a dollar.

Even with the so-called announcement by Alat, some people did testify that they made attempts at payments with their naira card, but were not successful. Read their comments up there!

My experiment/update:

I created the virtual card on Wema Bank app and I was charged N500.

I now went ahead to use the virtual card created on the Wema Bank App to make purchase of $5.32, it successfully went through instantly and I was debited N5,025.12

This means 944.57 per dollar. Costlier but more secure transaction, no deposit & no unnecessary hidden charges.

Their rate is a total rip-off, forget about security! If ordinary $5.32 could go for a sum as high as N5k +, just wait till you have an item of higher amount, say $100, to buy. That's when you'd know that it doesn't make sense.

This is one reason I'd still stick to virtual card for now.

The conditions plenty self!
I believe this is Aliexpress' seller's protection strategy.

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff] People ehn! As at last week, many people were asking which fintechs is ok! I'm not in a hurry until their rates are well known and favourable (which I'm really doubting) but until then. [/color]

You've really hit the nail on the head! How impatient people could be!
For instance, Is it not too early to even start testing Banks' naira debit card on AliExpress when there was no official announcement from those banks indicating that their cards are now provisioned to work on such platform?
People need to calm down!

Mikeshine:
Is CHOICE a good market place on Aliexpress?

Choice products are real, with superb price reduction on them. But as attractive as they are, they have hidden caveat attached. That is, in the event of an item not conforming to description, and you decide to file for dispute, you'd be required to return the item before you could be granted a refund.
So, if you must buy these products, make sure you choose wisely.

[quote author=Sonrexx post=124438949][/quote]Good to know!
Let's see what they have to offer in terms of rate

nani667:
Black Card has returned with all manner of charges

Lemme wait for WEMA bank

This Klasha has gone 'heywire' now!
Imagine them charging $3.5 for ordinary card creation.

Broskyjames:
Vesti Wallet. Might be the most useless i have used out of the bunch. Out of 100, works out of 1 and downtime 99 times. Their customer service is zero and once you are able to fund your virtual USD card you cannot move it back to your naira wallet.

Very serious! That aspect of customer support is very crucial.

iykejohnson:
My Umidigi power 3 trips off anyhow. At times it refuses to on after tripping off until I plug it into the electricity

The battery needs replacement.

mctfopt:
Oh, that's simply crazy

Honestly!

Edohoeket1:
You can now use your Naira debit card for international transactions...
Monthly limit $500
Received from Wema Bank

Rate/$?

Broskyjames:
lol I'm trying to move my funds from this wallet cuz I cant basically fund my dollar card for days now and look at the nonsense they are telling me. The "Your funds are safe" part is so corny . Me thinking these Fintechs can actually replace and do a better job than our traditional banks is the is total foolery. They are all the same, it's either one absurd abnormality or hidden charges. They solve one problem and create 10 more. I can't wait for our traditional bank cards to work on International platform like before, so i can gladly uninstall all these apps.

Which platform is this one?

yomalex:
How much is $ black market now abeg?

#800+

vicarsenal:
Please house,
If I cancel an order that has not been shipped, will I get the refund immediately?

No, you will not! You may have to wait for a week or more. I experienced that 2 weeks ago.

erobes:
Bitmama looks reasonable for now.

I am currently having issues with the verification, esp the capturing of face. I noticed i cant take a selfie as required for the verification to create card.

I have updated the app and all sort, but issue still persists.

Has anyone experienced this?

Check your network speed. The verification process, especially the aspect you mentioned, was seamless for me.

eteebanky1:
Some criminally minded persons might want to emulate this

Nigerians, we lack patience

Now, the item has arrive but you still receive your full refund, A loss for the seller....that is too bad

200 days? That's a long time!
Am sure the Item would have been long forgotten by the owner. So, he did the right thing by opening dispute as at when due. What of if the good didn't come eventually and he too didn't file for dispute when he was supposed to? He would have lost his money for ever!

morikee:
Please any alternative?

Try Bitmama, it works fine.

Their charges:
*Card creation - free (subject to 1st card; subsequent ones attract a fee of $1/card)
*Card funding fee - 1.5%
*Wallet funding fee through bank transfer - #100 (one hundred maira)
*Monthly maintenance fee $0.42

Condition for usage:
must have crypto knowledge.

teeflex23:
Help boss in the house please wat can I do to my umidigi f3s it reboot by itself sometime please any solution?

How and when did it start behaving like that!?
You may have installed incompatible app/file on the device.
Do a factory reset to see if the issue is resolved.

Dwaynestefan:
I created a new AliExpress account and the card worked once.

Prepare your mind for appeal. You can't escape it.

sonssyo:
@Jboixxx,olamak1et al my chipper cash card after like 6 purchases at a time is speaking Grammer,due to security reasons bla blah, please what is the way out.
I have been using it for a while now ooo

Aliexpress is very strict with payment Cards these days. The way forward is to go through the appeal process and submit the requested information.

Dwaynestefan:
I did try to appeal, uploaded all required documents.
But it refused to “Submit”

Check your network speed or clear the AliExpress app cache.

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]Fintechs de find money o cuz I'm not sure Ali will withhold that $1.[/color]

Na so o

Dwaynestefan:
How long will it take for chipper to refund my 1$?
And after the 24hours wait, I’ll be able to use my phone to place an order on AliExpress right?

Thanks for your prompt reply.

The $1 has become non-refundable now. At least, I can count 2 instances of such.

Goodnuel:
So how did Klasha jump to 813

Exploiting their subscribers under the guise of naira floating!

Goodnuel:
Binance is still at 790 which is like the general rate. How they take reach 813?

That's true of Binance, but bitmama usdt on p2p is 780 as at now.

IMAliyu:
Bitmama has paused the creation of new cards.

I didn't observe that this morning
But existing card is working because I did a check out on AliExpress this morning.....

Goodnuel:
Omor, I am just seeing it. They are just increasing at will.

It's as a result of the naira floating. Even on Binance, the rates are very high now, even higher than those of some fintech.

bignoble05:
Why did he do that? Was it your request? How can we benefit from this strategy

The seller intentionally reduced the prices of the individual items because if he were to declare the real monetary values, such items could attract customs charges. This is bacause any personal item imported from Abroad must not exceed a certain amount of naira as stipulated by the NSC law, Else it would be subjected to tax.

So, next time you're buying item of say $70 or more, just chat the seller and tell him to reduce the price to be quoted on the parcel.

Jefferyzz:
Abeg how much does it cost to return an item back to china. Seller not replying messages, item came bad n AliExpress require I send item back

That must be "Choice item!"E no dey get refund. The enticing baits on such items are the low prices put on them.
