Dat Means I Will Have To Open Gt Bank acct as they have a better exchange rate

Open Access Bank account too, if you wish to purchase items above $100.

Oh! Of course, to complete your internet banking transactions on GTB ibank platform, you will need a token, and token or pin usin GT Mobile. No doubt. But for online transaction/ecommerce, it is by default. My first transaction on AliExpress was done using my wife's GT card which she had never used for online transaction/gtmobile nor internet banking. So, it's never a conjecture. Of course, you saw my convo with gtbank help.

How do i complete my transactions?: I dont use PIN nor Token after the first OTP i used in confirming my details at my first transaction.

Very strange.
They request for PIN + OTP for all my online transactions, even on Quickteller.


Aren't you uncomfortable without the security of PIN/token?
Then again you probably don't have a younger sister that uses your AliExpress account to buy Brazilian hair.
Are you comfortable without the Pin option?

goldtooth:
I thought stanbic cards stopped working last year. Have you used it this year? If yes what is the rate?

Stanbic cards no longer work.
GTB and Access Banks are the recommended banks because of their relatively low rates.
Each has a limit of $100 monthly.

jboixxx:
.

Ah. Seems we misunderstood each other. I'm aware that some accounts are enabled for internet transactions by default. By activation I meant with PIN or token to complete transactions. You cannot use the default password/PIN without changing it.
PS how do you verify your transactions, PIN or token?

daseento:
On getting to the bank today, I was told Access visa card is now limited to $100 a month. Please how true is this info. Secondly if the info is true, how do I buy the product through aliexpress pocket . It seems some people here use this approach. Please help a brother. Thanks

It's been like that since early January this year.

vanchi:
Stories.. all are activated by default..

Okay.

dustmalik:
Has anyone gotten any of our 4G Only networks, such as ntel, Spectranet or Smile, to work on a xiaomi device running Miui? I've done everything known in the book to get these networks to work, but to no avail. Trust me when I say everything. I use to be one to help others to get these network working on their device, but now, I'm helpless to myself

Yeah, got Ntel working on the Redmi 2.
Followed the usual steps, didn't do anything "special"
Service comes and goes depending on location, and 4G is a huge battery hog.

jboixxx:
GTBank Mastercard is by default activated for online transactions.

Not at all, that would be a huge security risk and the indemnity would be on them (you'll have to accept an agreement indemnifying the bank for any losses before you can activate internet banking)

Besides you need to be given a PIN or token for completing online transactions.

toludadon:
Pls how do I go about appealing because my order was closed because of security issues? And what do I need for the appeal?

Log in from a PC.
They'll tell you what you'll need
It usually is:
-Pictures of the ATM card that was declined (you can block some numbers in the card for security purposes);
-Statement of account of the bank account the ATM card covers (you can get this from your bank's internet banking site on a PC);
-Valid means of identification (international passport, national ID card, voters card, etc)

slamstanlee:

Holuwaxheun:
Gtb Master card

Have you enabled it for internet banking? If yes then try loading small amounts (eg $10) first.

Holuwaxheun:

Gmajor:
guys how do I root redmi 3s?

Is your bootloader unlocked?
If it is you can just flash the superu zip via TWRP (You don't need root to flash TWRP)

Or alternatively if you don't want to unlock your bootloader you can flash Chinese Dev ROM.
it comes prerooted.

gentlesoul196:
please o, I need some answers, I intend getting the Xiaomi redmi 4 prim anyone has a user experience on it or which Xiaomi should I be advised to get, also how to detect original Xiaomi when ordering for it and which custom rom should I asked to be shipped with?

The phone you should get depends on your needs and budget
Check the specs of the phone you want then search it on AliExpress for price.

If you want to buy original phones -- or original items -- on AliExpress check the reviews and user feedback.
Make sure the seller has at least 4.5 stars and 93% feedback.
Trusted sellers of Xiaomi phones on AliExpress:
-Dreami Store (they offer free shipping)
-Xiaomi Online Store
-Eternal Team

There are others but these are the ones Nairalanders in this thread have used

Protein0:
For appeal, Can the screenshot of account transactions from GTBANK mobile app be accepted as account statement? Or better still, can someone brief me on the appeal process? I plead. Thanks

If you log in to your internet banking account on the app there's an option for account statement.
Choose the time period you want and export it to PDF .

noona:
yes I do..

Have a kitten to give out. Check my signature.

Nawa for Slot o.
The airpods cost $160 as retail price, and as retailers they can get it from Apple cheaper than that.
$160 even with dollar pegged at ₦1000/$ is not up to the price they are selling.
What is the line between business and greed?
Between making a profit and exploitation?

Ibiblaze:
those cards are no longer available na..if the appeal is declined..will i still fund my pocket with another card?

Oh.
You used someone else's card?
I don't think you can make any transactions without completing your appeal.

sapienman:
How do you fast track?

Chat with their customer care representative.
From the app's menu select Customer Service then select your problem, if you scroll down you'll see an option to live chat with their CC.

adrusa:
Third time I'm asking this question. Does Dreami store takes so long to ship itemS?

Maybe they have a backlog of items to ship.
Maybe they don't have it in stock.
Exercise patience.
If they don't ship within a specified time the order will be cancelled and your money refunded.

Ibiblaze:

Yours should be j509 then.

Acermoon:

Reboot to recovery and factory reset.
You'll lose all the data in your phone though.

Vasaratti16:
OK thanks but i searched for my stock rom but its two different models (j508 and j509) i don't know which one to download

What Android version were you on?
I think j508 is Lollipop while j509 is KitKat.
I could be wrong though.
Remove the battery and check the back of your phone.
