my bro had the same yesterday.. #1300 was deducted from his account yesterday

Access Bank really tried. They have been pursuing and copying everything GTbank for years.

I think they are there now!

Only issue I have with them is the way they ... took over Intercontinetal Bank

My best Bank brand in order of preference:

GTBank

Access Bank

First Bank

Zenith Bank

there are only two banks in nigeria, #1. access bank & #2. other banks.

Access is going places
