Is UBA Not Affected By The Forex Scarcity? by YoungExec(op): 11:08pm On Dec 31, 2015
I just got a mail from UBA

http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=c8a31770-88e2-4fd2-9e6a-c21c018a2716&c=fced5270-e32a-11e3-aff2-d4ae5292b9a6&ch=fdfec270-e32a-11e3-b06f-d4ae5292b9a6

While other banks are restricting or outrightly blocking their Naira Cards from working abroad, UBA seems to be telling me to increase my business with them.
I've already decided on my 2016 Forex plans via my offshore account since CBN wants to kill our businesses.

Now UBA is sending me this. Abeg o... My better informed bosses, please share your wisdom, it seems UBA is a super bank?

Addendum...
Zenith had sent me this earlier today:

Firstly, I did not call anybody any names. Did I? I asked "Are you a fraudster" That was a question.

Now, why will I click on a link when he can paste the content here?

GT is already putting me through $1000 per month on their Naira MasterCard. Though my Dorm card is limitless, the funding part is the wahala. Very soon my business will start trade by batter or 'goods swap' with my foreign partners grin

Yes it's $1000 per month but at least you can still make petty payments not being banned completely.

As for dorm account funding. That's easy. I make use of my dollar card not even naira. How do I fund?

Do tell. Please. Last time I funded mine, I had to open Gt Dorm because my Forex source wanted to do GT to GT transfer. But the rate ain't no where near CBN 199. Very very far from it.

The rate was so high I had to start seeking alternatives.

So far, I've queued up behind a manufacturer. We now have a symbiotic relationship. My company has pegged the cost our our services to him while he adds our Forex needs to his official forex requirement. Which is funded by CBN.
It's not the best though, as we are loosing money from him as a client but at least it keeps us in business for our other clients.

At least, Nigeria cannot afford for his company to fail. He is a local manufacturer employing thousands so he gets priority for his forex needs.
