been the poorest capital in the world, yet our banks are insensitive to its users. These are tweets made by a certain doctor on Twitter pushing for banks sanitation.

They say who no go no go know. Truth is, banks are the same almost everywhere.
Banking in several African countries is far better than many developed countries. Especially mobile banking

In Norway for example, interbank transfers take 24hrs. SMS notification charge is equivalent to N170.
I prefer Nigerian banking style by far especially when buying bitcoins. Charge me just N52 and do my transfer instantly.
Nigerians too like free things grin

UBA charges N11 for transfers to other banks

But the idea of transfer fees charges by our banks is fraudulent

When our regulatory agencies are not standing up to their responsibilities, masses are always at the receiving end.

UBA charge N50 for transfer to other banks. i wonder if your UBA is different.
Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by pelicanbeau(f):
Bank transfer is 65 naira here and UBA is the worst bank I've ever known when it comes to illegal charges like ATM maintenance I always wonder what they are maintaining when I am in custody of my card, also charges on SMS alerts involving birthday and monthly alerts. Presently i am not using my accounts anylonger except for salary which I always transfer immediately to someone else own account for fear of deduction and still they are charging the account with the 500 naira minimum account balance...I don't even know what to do again.
Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by Moreoffaith(m): 12:43pm On Sep 03, 2018
Maintaining the card in my wallet??

Even if the card is lost they will charge another 1k for replacement SK what's the maintenance for.
Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by wellmax(m): 12:43pm On Sep 03, 2018
Interest on savings account N120

Charges for the month N280.50

What are we saving? huh
Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by savio93(m): 12:44pm On Sep 03, 2018
Indeed the way Banks deduct little monies thinking we don't observe.
It's annoying.

Even if you want to deduct, deduct with sense.

State the reason for the deductions.

And someone on that twitter thread was justifying the actions of the banks.

@segalink has said, this would be the next part he would fight against.
#endbankfraud
Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by Dexpro:

GTBank is the worse of them. Buy airtime, them go charge you. Receive funds, e.g 50,000.

Check your balance the next morning, 49,992.74k huh

Those banks are horribly fraudulent

chigo4u:
Does ATM withrawal aslo take 24 hours and Norway and are there charges for using ATM there or card maintenance fee? Sanusi removed the N65 ATM charges, this new cbn governor came and reintroduced it to please his banking people. rubbish

Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by Hakeem12(m): 12:45pm On Sep 03, 2018

Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by shedy03(m): 12:45pm On Sep 03, 2018
UBA, First bank, etc charge N50 monthly ATM card maintenance fee.
Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by Krak(m): 12:45pm On Sep 03, 2018
My UBA ATM card that expired three years ago they are still charging maintenance fee monthly. Even the new one I am using will expire by next year, they are also charging maintenace fee on it too.
Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by inforesource: 12:45pm On Sep 03, 2018
UBA has been holding on to my N1000 bal for God knows how many years now. They don't have such right.
Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by izzy4shizzy(m): 12:45pm On Sep 03, 2018
My bank will send me a birthday text, then deduct the msg fee from my account..

As if na me the wish myself happy birthday
Re: Nigerian Banks And Its Systematic Extortion (share Your Experience) by Nobody:
If you want to remove it or block them, they remove you. We saw this play out with Sanusi. Emefiele got there and put back the charge. Upon all the left how many billionaires in dollars do we have?
