Skye bank was never Afribank.

Skye only acquired Mainstreet bank which was formerly Afribank.

And here I was thinking I'm having a sane discussion about name change with a homo sapien, not knowing some egoistic homo erectus is behind the keyboard

I run from first bank, why

I wanted to withdraw 60k cash over the counter or do transfer using form, they said they don't attend to withdrawal or transfer less than 100k, meanwhile I purposely don't have an atm or do online banking so I can save money except an emergency comes up, emergency came, I withdrew till it became 60k, I still needed the 60k and they didn't want to give me my own money, I had to transfer 40k there, waited cos I don't receive alerts either, checked to see if the 40k hit the account so I cld withdraw 100, waited for hours still no show, and I went home feeling stupid cos it was a Friday and I needed the fund for the weekend plus I was now short of 40k extra

Bastard bank of a stupid system

First bank !!! Very stupid bank

Had a similar experience last week, after submitting all necessary documents at a branch, few weeks later went to another branch for withdrawal was told my account was Frozen. Frozen!!! Why? I was told to bring my documents again and wait for 14days for it to be resolved. Now am counting 14days

Re: First Bank Confirms Merger, Acquisition Talks With Heritage And Polaris Banks by sharone21(f): 10:48am On Mar 14, 2020*

Strong banks: Gtb( exists in some African countries eg Gambia), Zenith, First bank( you can transfer money via Western Union& Money Gram abroad), Access bank, Fidelity, Wema( You can transfer money via Western Union & Money Gram abroad), UBA( exists in some African countries eg Benin Republic), FCMB, ECOBANK( exists in many African countries)

*As per their Customer Care it depends on the banks. The ones with very active social media pages are: First bank, Wema( especially with ALAT by Wema- the only digital account you can fix money without physical presence and no cumbersomeness in navigating its online application)& having the best fix deposit rate previously @ 10% but crashed it to 6% per annum as directed by present government , Fidelity( both on Fbk & Whatsapp). Access is trying.

Apart from First bank, no other bank is that strong. They can be acquired by any strong bank.

You don't know what you are saying.

Zenith and GTB are both stronger than FBN

GTB and Zenith remains the best bank!!

I dey tell you.
GTB that operate a zero account. As in, you can withdraw your last #1000.0 there. As a student,it couldn't be more better for me.

Re: First Bank Confirms Merger, Acquisition Talks With Heritage And Polaris Banks by invectives(m): 11:52am On Mar 14, 2020

Somatic:
Zenith is actually stronger than GTB. Share capital size, total deposits,and overall profitability for over 3 years have consistently put Zenith on top of GTB.and other banks as the number 1 financial institution on Nigeria. Financials of 2019 widened the gap.

Thats Becos Emefiele is from Zenith Bank....Udom Emmanuel too
