Abcruz: But email alert is at no cost. Its free. It is only SMS that is at cost. So why do they deduct my money? Maybe i should report them to CBN 9 Likes 1 Share |

All banks in Nigeria collect alert charges and it has been accepted as normal. In fact some even charge for birthday text sent to customers but if you are not okay with it all you need to do is to just walk into your bank and tell them you want to deactivate SMS alert on your account. I did same in Firstbank. it's only in stanbicibtc I wanted but couldn't because I saw a scary clause in the form I was meant to fill. So I try to Endure their weekly and monthly statement alert. Stanbicibtc don't make it accumulate they take the N4 immediately they send you alert. Diamond Bank deducted cumulative alert charge of About N1800 from my account early this year as alert charges for last year. Be sure you do internet banking, have e-mail alert or an ATM card incase you may need to confirm your balance. You will also need to keep those very close to your heart to avoid any unauthorized transaction taking place on your account and the bank shifting responsibility should it occur. 12 Likes 4 Shares |

@dotcomnamename call support. First bank has been unlawfully deducting it's customers money any how. I had an almost similar issue when my savings account was deducted for a maintenance fee imposed by the bank unlawfully. I called First Contact and they told me thrash. I mailed their complaints unit and threatened to forward it to the CPD (Consumer protection department ) of CBN and my money was refunded. Mail them and request a refund 5 Likes |

Bros, instead of this ignorant scream over 56 naira. Why not walk into their nearest branch and ask why you were charged. You might not be receiving sms alert but a number you filled on your account opening form (which you aren't using) is receiving this message. You're billed by the bank on behalf of your network operator. No be ur 50naira the bank wan chop. And ask of the rate of the sms charge. Cos heritage charges 10naira per sms, the charge varies for each network operator. So get information and stop BLEATING >: 2 Likes |

on a monthly basis gtbank deducts about N950 from my account as sms charges. the funny thing is that no alert for such deduction but a credit alert of about N200 will come in as interest capitalized. |
