You can open a monzo account right in the corner of your room with your international passport and a video of your face introducing yourself. The account I'd also acceptable as salary account in most places. 4 Likes |

ankaravillageng: Send an email to GT bank…they’d have to migrate yu to diaspora banking first. After which they wud be able to post a card to ur address in the uk ( there would definitely be charges) This happened to me recently with my firstbank acc… the price they quoted to post a card and token to mey uk address was about 20k naira 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Irenenwaka: Its not that simply , he has to complete length forms, get it signed by references, attach list of documents they will list in that form and do video interview as a form of verification, this can take as much as 3-4 months if not more 1 Like |

justwise: Ahh justwise firsbank didnt require any video interview with me you know… i got a proof of my address+ my passport + the diaspora form Documents were signed, dated , stamped by a manager at a hospital (RMN). Took pictures and sent it back to them… in about 15 days it was done(i was fully migrAted) When I requested for a card… staff told me it would take about 10 days to process my card and token to me. And about 5 days for dhl to deliver. At the end I cancelled my request for a card. 1 Like |

Irenenwaka: thiagoteres: That was not my experience with GTBANK, it was a frustrating experience , you send them one email you get 3-4 replies of the same content and different ref numbers, I posted the whole experience in the previous part. If my card expires I will forget about that account till anytime I visit Nigeria. |

canadaishome: Nursery for 3years old, not sure how many free hours you get in Scotland. If you find an African community forum there, you might be lucky to get someone who takes flat rates for all kids (like 30/40pounds per day). I know a few friends who got such offers. Good luck on your search. |

Uzorp: Can you state the specific challenge. Are there no houses in the area you are looking for? They don't meet your specification, etc, so people will know how to help you. |

justwise: Wooow how pathetic…. Lol this is the first timeni get to be proud of first bank hehehe. Their response is really fast, i was even able to add a member of the diaspora team on whatsapp. We would chat and call via WhatsApp for any issues or questions. Gt definitely gave u a bad experience |

justwise: With GTB, I had a similar experience. It was horrible and unpleasant, and I had no choice but to abandon it until I returned home. They charged me for the replacement card, and when I went to pick it up, they informed me that it had been over a year and that I would have to pay another fee for a new card. I'm not going to renew when the current one expires. 1 Like |

AlakeOfEngland: That was my experience as well, don't bother contact your account manager because you will not receive a reply. My account was blocked yesterday as i was trying to change from Token to Pin and was asked to call certain number, i can't be bothered The only thing i like about them is that ad about 737 2 Likes |

Googledrive12: They have actually done me a massive favour by blocking that account, each time i send money home through that account i get charged for the service and also for sms, so now i don't have to pay all that, i send directly to my relatives through agent. 2 Likes |

canadaishome: Welcome to the UK. 5 pounds an hour is an average childminder rate. The way it generally works with children under 3 is that if you wish to work full-time, one of the parents will basically earmark [a large chunk of] their salary and hand it over to the childminder every month. 1 Like |

TheGuyFromHR: This is below the minimum wage. I'm guessing that figure of £5/hour is for people who are are unregistered and do not fulfill all the legal requirements for the job e.g DBS checks, OFSTED registration etc. |

justwise: Sorry to bother you. My brother doesn't even know nor have his account officer contact. How best do you think he can solve this, cause that like his major account and if he can't access the account via mobile app or debit card then funds would be trapped there. All efforts to speak to a customer service representative here is met with machine response. |
