I used Grey to receive money for a documentary project that I am currently promoting but they returned the money to the sender, saying I didn't provide a PDF receipt of the payment. But the money is a donation from someone I don't even know.

The company is too primitive as far as I am concerned. Any idea of other FINTECH that doesn't require such receipt?

pocohantas:
Do you mean invoice?
Others would always ask for something similar. It is to ensure the money was for a legal service rendered. So if you actually helped promote a documentary, then it is not a mere donation. It is payment for your service.

musicwriter:
You got me wrong.

They needed a receipt of the payment, not invoice as I didn't sell anything.

Check my signature, you'll understand. I am trying to raise money to produce a documentary for my book. So, I posted a Grey account on my blog for readers to support me and someone sent money into the account anonymously.

When I expected to receive the money, I instead got a message from Grey to provide a receipt from the sender but which I couldn't because I don't know the sender. Two days later, they wrote that they've returned the money to the sender.

Yes, I use Grey to receive payment regularly from Amazon and other sources for my ebook earnings. I never knew it was a different ball game when using it to receive payment from an individual.

Note that I removed the Grey account from my blog. I replaced it with a local one, unfortunately our people don't understand the issues we face and what I am working on, so they don't donate. But African-Americans do donate because they are culturally and spiritually more consciousness than most of us so called Africans, that's why I put up the Grey account in the first place. Many African-Americans are more African than many of us Africans.

See attachment and link on my signature and you'll understand.

You are saying rubbish with confidence, maybe you are conversant with international transactions, cbn policy stopped all international transactions using ATM of all our commercial banks

GeneralDae:
The ex-p didn’t command banks to do anything. Banks had to stop due to shortage of dollars at the official window of 450 naira/$. Inflows coming into the official window then were slowing down because everyone wanted to trade at the black market of 750 to get more value for their FX. With lesser inflow to the Banks, they had little dollars to give you. This is why Tinubu floated the naira immediately because it was a crisis already.

Offpoint1:
They should remove the useless limits... They shouldn't dictate how I spend my money.

As for Fintech, their greed will kpai them

Emeskhalifa:
As in eh, no be small greed. Extremely greedy. They almost made me to lose my website but can you blame them? Blame the then federal government that stopped the use of Naira card to make international payment

flexyrule:
All these ignorant statements you people keep making.

You think the commercial bank is all about deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and payment for services?

DeLaRue:
My Gtb card didn't work over the weekend. Tried Zenith card, same problem.

Are we supposed to get new bank cards, or the thing has not started operating.

nedekid:
Can you show the cbn policy that instructed banks to stop all international transactions using atms? You know what?, you are the usual average Nigerian that will defend your ignorance with confidence. Instead of asking questions and getting informed you arrogantly claim knowledge yet dumb. Don't worry it is not unique to you, months ago on a thread here about haulage I spoke of earning a certain sum, one idiot argued it can never be done, saying it is false info, a stupid person because if I had been in his shoes, I would first have asked how it was done to earn what seemed impossible to him, probably I would have told him then he increases his earnings.
Oga, my bank card never stopped working, I have always had $3000 monthly limit (which could have been increased if needed). Those with regular cards eg my kids had $800-1000 limits (if I remember right). My regular subscriptions, YouTube, Netflix and other online payments, using the card overseas, everything works.
Ignorance is a desease, if you doubt why not walk into the bank or call customer care to confirm?
