GODAKPAN:
my banker (first bank) just informed me that he will pull my deal through by 5th of sept. 2017. was actually expecting him to deal yesterday. am away for next 3 weeks. please can someone explain why he failed to transact and choose 5th instead. Thanks, am nervous beacause its my first time.
Eh yah!!!
Sorry o. Your "Banker" i.e your account office has played a fast one on you for your ignorance.

He has no justifiable reason not to process your request especially IF you had the funds in your account on or before last Monday.and IF your request was for the Primary Market and not Secondary Market.

Did you fill the form for the Treasury Bill indicating that it was for 30th August 2017 auction and signed?

IF you did not, then he capitalized on that and did not ask you to do so because he needed your money to remain in your account to boost his target for the month and IF you did, he is not happy that you want to do Treasury Bills as that does not pay him (you can report him to their head office for this i. e if you filled the form). He needed to have your money in your account or invested in a Fixed Deposit.

I don't think there's any Treasury Bill Auction slated for next week as Treasury bills at the Primary Market takes place every fortnight , so he is likely to have lied to you that he will do it on 5th September 2017 EXCEPT if its for the Secondary Market which can be done everyday that it's available and not necessarily on any particular day or date.

One thing you should know is that once you do Treasury Bills, the money leaves the custody of your bank to the CBN, and the bank can't trade with it again-so they are not happy and could do anything to frustrate it.

WAY OUT
I have advised people, especially newbies not to ever go through their accounts officers to do Treasury Bills. Better still, go to a different branch of your bank and simply walk in and ask for the officer in charge of Treasury Bills for that branch, be very confident before him or her not to give any impression that you don't really know what you want. Then tell the TB officer that you need a form for the next Primary Market Treasury Bills, fill the forms, sign and submit.

If what you want is the Secondary Market, walk into ANY branch of your bank and tell the TB officer that you want to know the available rates for Treasury Bills and tenors for that day and moment, and it will be made available to you through their online system and choose the one you like, after which you get the form fill, and sign.

It's because of these happenings that I always advice newbies to take the pain and time to go through the threads on this forum from the beginning to familiarise themselves with how to go about it and avoid the tricks usually employed by the bankers, but some people say it's not necessary to go through from the beginning.

I have deliberately written an "EPISTLE" to explain to you so that others like you can really understand and benefit and i hope you fully understand the nitty-gritty of it all now?

Finally i invested 2m for 182 days with first bank. Please, how much am i expecting by Wednesday. Thanks.
You can't be sure until after the bidding but it's going to be in the neighbourhood of N170,000 + or -considering the last and recent rates and also depending on First Bank bid rate.
Mind you, your upfront interest may not be paid until Friday but definitely not on Wednesday except those who invested through STANBIC.

Dear all, I am vexing now o, I invested in Tbills with Ecobank since July 7th, I was debited and paid upfront interest and it even reflected in my account. But my account officer has refused to help me get my proof of investment. The first time she said the lady who do send the proof in the head office was on leave.. She called me the last time, I missed her call but I knew she wanted to tell me that the proof is ready. I was at the bank the yesterday and I was told my account officer is now on leave, Infact I was told she's attending a church conference.. She only switch on her gone at night and has refused to pick my call sef. I regret investing with Ecobank. They are so unprofessional. I am planing on reporting to the branch manager. Please is it possible for one to report my branch and pick up the proof of investment from the head office... I really need this proof to present at the embassy next month.. Pls what do you think?
You're vexing now! For us on this forum?

Abeg, na we carry you go Eco?

At any rate, it's good you've seen things yourself now.

You caused yourself the problems you're facing.

Must you go through your account officer if you want to do NTB?
Must you do it at your branch?

You see, because some or most account officers wouldn't be happy that you're moving your money to do NTB, the safest way to avoid this type of issues is to go to a different branch, just walk in and ask for the officer in charge of Treasury Bills and transact your business Chikena!
Whenever you need your proof of transaction, go back to same person or desk and demand for it. And if you have no choice than to go to your branch, you don't need to involve your account officer-simply walk to the person in charge and do your transaction and return to same for your proof of investment in a week or two.

NOW, SOLUTION TO YOUR PREDICAMENT ⤵⤵⤵
Simply go to the branch where you did the Treasury Bills and ask for the officer in charge of Treasury Bills (if you don't know him or her) and ask for your hard copy. In case you're told that your account officer has collected it which I doubt very much because I normally sign for mine, insist that you must collect it or another one if she is on leave and they will surely do another one for you. If they say no, make some noise there and go to lodge a complain with the manager and threaten to close your account with them if you don't get it on that day and you will surely go home with it that day.

The head office can't give you just as you can't get it at any other branch except where you did it.

That vex we you dey vex, just carry am put for your pocket when going and bring am out and give them if the need arise. Okay?

Wait oo, i did not have the hard copy o, they only scan copy to me by email because my account is First Diaspora Account, i invested 5 million. Is that a risk not to have hard copy? Although it also shows in my account.
No no no. As long as you have the proof of the investment sent to your email address it's enough though there is also nothing wrong in asking for the hard copy
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by TONY56: 5:57pm On Aug 23, 2017
question:
Secondary market.
The problem is that someone has TWO Tbills investment. N3million and N2million.
The N2million is showing as a Tbills investment in your bank account profile online.
But the N3million is not showing anywhere in the account profile. So what is the genuine explanation?
Always try to get the hard copy of your investments or Certificate of investment from the branch you did the Treasury Bills as proof of the transaction as soon as possible. Usually the hard copies are ready in one or two weeks

Oops I dunno bout stanbic ibtc but first bank of Nigeria has that option "Re-invest upfront interest".
If they don't why not seek for extra cash to add to your capital, knowing you can pay back with the upfront interest.
eg I want to Invest 1million at 18% 364days,
I know that 180,000will be paid upfront while 820,000 will be taken away. Now if I can add/borrow 200,000 from a friend/family and Invest 1.2million at same 18%
my upfront ineterst (gross) will be 216,000. With this upfront interest I can payback my friend his money THE NEXT DAY, while I will be expecting 1.2m at the end of the tenor.
so I borrow and payback in less than 48hrs,lol

NB: I forgot to say you can do this diffefently, there was a comment here sometime ago I think by ernie4life.
Not so sure who again but he said
in stanbic ibtc, they don't deduct the whole capital and then payback interest like they do in first bank, instead they just take the actual amount if successful. we had that discussion some months ago.

so I may have 1million naira in my account but write in the form that I want to Invest 1.2million at 18%
because I know that if successful, 984,000 will be deducted from my account. I was surprised to hear this, but he says he does it often at stanbic.

First bank usually takes the WHOLE amount at first which makes it impossible to do
Yes Stanbic debits you only the amount less the interest BUT they won't allow you bid beyond what you have in your account. So the only way of going round it at Stanbic is to have extra money or borrow for one or two days as you have explained
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by TONY56: 5:39pm On Aug 23, 2017
Phyde:
22% for the same 364 days if I re-invest the profit? This sounds interesting...I did not see Re-Invest Interest option on the form i picked from stanbic IBTC. How will i go about it sir?
Yes Stanbic does not do "Re-invest interest option". Though there is a way round it at Stanbic by doing some calculations but you can get that option at First Bank

LeeCodeman:
There's still something I'm yet to understand. Must I have N50m before I can invest in the primary market, or are there banks who will allow me invest something as small as 500k through them? I have used Stanbic for my secondary market and they didn't give me my 364 days request, therefore I'm considering opening a FirstBank account if they will give me the maximum days.
There is no Bank that will give you a 364days tenor at the secondary market because it does not exist. You can only get that at the Primary market.

If you still don't believe, then port to the Fist Bank and see if you will get it.

However, you can invest as low as N100,000 through many of the banks BUT it has to be at the banks bid rate and not what you want. If you want to specify your own bid rate, then you MUST have at least N50Million

Lol.... you are wrong again....you can't get 182 days for 18% with GTBANK..... You can only get 18% and above for 364 days Primary Markets... I'm 100% sure of this....
Even Stanbic and First Bank won't give you 18% for 182days for primary markets bid .....except 364 days...
Secondary Markets can give 18%,but you can't even see 182 days in Secondary market..
Thanks...
It's actually possible to get 182days tenor at the secondary market. The only tenor you can't get at the secondary market is 364days.

Someone may have bought a 364days tenor and may be needing his money when it remains 182days.

Of course yes and if they don't, just go and talk to their head and they'll surely apologise. In the alternative, you can call or visit them tomorrow and tell them that you are informed that there will be no 364day tenor tomorrow and you wonder why your account was debited instead of informing you about it.

Hello house,
I was in first bank last Monday to apply for treasury bills but I was told that they don't do secondary market there but later told me it can be done but was not successful. Today I got a debit alert for TB 364days and I read that there won't be 364days this week. How come I was debited for 364days. I am confused, is that a mistake from the bank or what?
Yes i guess it's a mistake from the Branch. The staff who did that is very likely to be ignorant that there won't be 364day tenor

If the Treasury Bill is refinanced, the funds from the refinanced debt ie TB will be used to pay the local investors whenever their TB matures. Rather than Nigerians providing short term funds to FG, this will be done by foreigners and Nigerians who have access to forex.

I foresee a situation whereby yields on TB will reduce, forex may become scarce for local TB or Eurobond investors, thereby affecting the exchange rate.

The government is trying hard to promote the savings bond. The winners as a result of this proposed policy are the banks and Federal Government.

I see a situation whereby many A-list companies will come out for their corporate bonds and commercial papers, qualified state governments may also raise funds through bonds, l also see increase activities and returns from the stock market, hopefully things ought to start looking up in the real estate sectors.

These are my layman's opinions, I hope I am 60% correct with my projections.

Ive been praying hard for the rates to remain high, at least for the next 6months, but with this news on refinancing(which i dont understand),its evident that the game is about to change.

anyone with a clear understanding on the implication of this new development,should pls educate the house. i cant seem to find any useful material about the subject matter online.

if u ask me, they want to transfer the debt profile to foreign investor, yes they would clear off local debts but how would they raise funds to payback foreign debts in future. anyway our fingers are crossed,i hope the national assembly looks into this issue critically before endorsing it.
The answers my friend is on this page. Just scroll down. Treasury Bills are not going to be discontinued in Nigeria. It's only about the Re-financing of the debt payments. They're still going to raise the funds through this very local Treasury Bills only that the repayment period or tenor will increase and that will give the CBN a breather.

Also, click on to the site mentioned and read the government explanation yourself for better understanding

Cc:TONY56
1.Did you fill a Treasury Bills form stating or indicating that you wanted either a 91-day, 182-day or 364-day tenor Treasury Bills?
2.Did you receive any notification that it was done and successful either through text message or email?
3.Where you debited for the amount and credited with the upfront interest few days after?

If the answers to the questions above are yes, then go to the Branch you did it and simply walk to the officer in charge of the Treasury Bills and demand for your hard copy of the Treasury Bills you did last week and it will be given to you.

On the contrary, if the answers are NO, then it was not done and your money should still be intact In your account. So check your balance to confirm, except if they saw you as a newbie and had tricked you into signing for Fixed Deposit.

In a nutshell, the implication is that the present high rates in the Treasury Bills Market will drop as the aim of this move is to bring down inflation and consequently interest rates and cost of funds and the Banks will be happy for this as many MAY go back to FIXED deposits which pays the Banks much more than having their customers opting for Treasury Bills

Can you please explain the compounding system of First Bank?
It's very easy without hassle.
After opening an account with them which I advise should be a Savings for obvious reasons, visit any branch of your choice and ask for the officer in charge of Treasury Bills.

Whether it's Primary or Secondary Market you want to go for, get their form, fill it with the amount and tenor you are choosing and indicate in the appropriate place on the form that you want your interest to be re-invested and not paid upfront.

Chikena!!! (That's all)
Avoid going through your account officer in case he or she is not happy that you are not opting for Fixed Deposit or process it through another Branch to avoid him or her entirely.

There surely won't be any 364-day bills on offer at the next auction. The NTB calendar doesn't just show maturing bills. It also shows new issues the CBN intend making for a given quarter-that what's contained in the roll over section. one would expect things like a nations borrowings to be well scheduled right?

Remember before these huge deficits in the nation's budget, 364-day bills used to be on offer just once a month
Oh yes. That's quite correct
