Some couple of hours ago I saw an update on My Facebook news feed about an
observation that all gtbanks across the federations do not have gate unlike other
banks.

I almost begged to disagree, but after ruminating and brooding over all the 5
GTBANKS I know within my location here in my city where I live, I realized that
the FB poster is right going by my own observation with all the bank branches
I know in my location.

Here is the drill!

Is it also true that all GTBANKS in all the branches in your location do not have gate?

If yes or no, what could be responsible.

Lets hear from you

U are a right. Hope that's is not too dangerous?

That could probably be for a reason?

Have u ever seen barclays and lloyd banks with gate

commonsense

That's true. I checked the ones I know myself and they don't have.

Thats how most commercial buildings in advanced countries are built.

Exactly, but what could probably be the core reason and why is it
that it's only Nigeria GTBank that seems to be copying the these
foreign banks going gateless in all their branches?

I was thinking it's something only peculiar with all the gtbank here in my location.

Why is only GTBank the one doing this down here? and how have they been able
to maintain this same similar standard of having gateless branches nationwide?

because its beautiful and its nice like that.. A BANK SHOULDNT BE A PRISON YARD

They probably want to keep the same design throughout their branches just like that. Obviously design statement from their management.

Those in my area have sha

They can't even secure their buildings with the gate and they want me to believe they'll secure my hard earned funds

since d electronic entrance door came into the country...its harder to rob a bank....

Na Nigeria be this not Europe country
Bank dey always use gate mostly becos of the under world men.
It's Nigeria thing

Is a security concept, "security is superstitious" - transporter, interrogating armed robbers at gate is dangerous, armed security are hardly seen but are present. Robbery alert from inside is better than from outside. Their unarmed security are train only to observed & not interrogate.

The one in Sagamu has gate


Sometimes, the way people reason surprises me. Bank wey buy half plot, wetin him wan carry gate do? Check where they have more than plot or even a plot, they secured it.

Gate, fencing in Africa is majorly for securing your land... That is the primary objective of fencing in Africa, security comes next.

All the GT Banks you see without gate are where they have little land. What are they going to fence again... Talk about stinginess na Gtb get am

Cuz they just shouldn't

Gate is never for security but to chase away goats. I have never seen any house that gate helped them in security. Even the famous owerri zenith bank robbery had gates.
One rich man's house with very high fence and electric wires on the fence was robbed. Guess how they did it? They put mattress on the fence and passed over it to the compound. Use technology to keep your house safe not traditional brick and mortal method

not only that dey don't have gate but they have low record of robbery unlike other banks with gate.

bros na true o. here in PH. i knw one in eastwest road. opposite bori camp. no gate. the one at transamadi no gate. the one at gra no gate. even the one at loaction near rumuokwuta. jeeez

True

They depend on technology (I introduced 2 of such to them them in 2007 . . . though my company wasn't patronised, but they now use the 2.

Secondly, the bank relies more on smart security operatives (private and government).

Thirdly, a fence has very limited use in stopping a bank robbery, it can actually be counterproductive.

P.S. The more interesting angle is, GTBanks rarely get robbed - rarely.

Which area?

The thing tire me. Whereas you can hardly think of any other banks that do not have gate.

Hahahahahahaha

What an irony

Yeah, zenith bank is one of the banks that can not go with adding a gate

Another good observation, you can hardly see any armed security personnel in most of their banks

GTBank at Umuahia opposite FMC has gates and armed personnel as well.
