SMS charge is #4 per SMS. You must have received 1,037 for the month. Just deactivate your alerts and use mail notification and/or mobile app if you receive that much SMS alerts monthly.

I handle it by making my money in Dollar and keeping them in Dollars/Pounds and in Crypto.

When I want to use money, I withdraw from Dollar to Kuda, Barter, Piggyvest, etc. Barter is free to send money.

If the money is sent to my local bank like UBA or GTB, I don't get text message alert, but email. Email alert is free, but SMS isn't. I have MB 24/7, so no need for SMS alert.
If you're talking about all these exorbitant duty charges, na una wey dey keep money for Naira I pity.


How do I keep my money in Dollar/Pounds? Which app do you use?
And how do I make money in Dollars?
Put me through. I need help.

OP, seems you are a POS operator, because of huge transactions which culminated into such Alerts charges.

Meet your account officer and discuss with him. Ask him to cancel SMS alerts for the POS account, and only leave the EMAIL alerts. Email alerts attract no charges at all.

Also, discuss all charges possible on your account, and how not to incur them.

Best of luck.

Put me through. I need help.

To make money in dollars, you need be a crypto trader. Crypto is not an MMM.

Crypto trading isn't really easy, but very good. All you need is serious patience and ample learning time.
Id you are ready and have some considerable fund, i can help you.

Open a standard chartered bank account and thank me later, they don't charge on any transaction that except the mandatory #6.98 by out telecoms via USSD.

Was running pos business some years back and was using both first bank and Gtbank..
First bank-current acc
Gtb-savings acc

Sometimes, depends on monthly transactions. First bank deduct 7k as acc maintenance fee and on each Transaction above 10k,50 naira bank charges..
I still get sms charges in thousands too monthly..

Gtbank gives me 4-6k sms charges and and still get 50 naira stamp duties..

These banks are just armed robbers in disguise.. They add no value to you and still milk you dry

Robbers? Didn't you see 2 government parastatals fighting over stamp duties? You think everything is for the bank? Even telecoms firms are also now collecting their own.

no tell me say na 45k dem Dey remove from your account per month
shocked


Imagine waking up to that kind of alert ..from 50k in your account to 4k last card with the situation of things in this country

He likely removed 45m from his account this month so 45k charge is no big deal for him.

For me. I told zenith that I don't want to recieve sms only emails..and it has worked for me cos I always have data. am considering the same for my other accounts. The email is instant as well! sometimes even faster than sms.

You are not the only one facing this problem. I received charges of more that 1000 on sms charges for only one month. That’s almost more than the amount of money i spend on calls a month. You can’t keep money in your account anymore, you come back and banks have removed some of it. Last month thesame thing. Everyone is just quite about this mess

How you take de manage 1k a month for calls??

No, you need to contact the back either via mail or go to any branch closest to you. This is because you'd need to indemnify the bank against any issue that'd happen as a result of you not receiving SMS alerts.
