Sorry I meant minimum balance. As in using your card to pay for goods in store and online. I'll confirm from d paper they gave me and get back to u soon.
XX01:
It's a minimum balance of 1500 not a monthly deposit in case others get confused. What do you mean by the ATM can't be used in store? Was considering changing to this other account when I am done.

Heard of Thor? The hammer wielding god of thunder from ancient Norse mythology? Well, he was the son of Odin (the big Norse god) and FYORGYN the earth goddess...

That's where I got the name from...

I used to be fascinated by all the ancients at a time in my life...

I opened a Bank of America acct but not the one requiring minimum monthly deposit of $1,500. Wey d moni na? grin
Monthly maintenance fee of $4 or so...& the staff said I can wipe it clean & close whenever I wish. I don't have cheque book but my Atm card can be used online and in stores -but for the previous poster, the ATM cannot be used in store. They have 3 types of account. If they explain well, u make your choice. It's tricky...ish.
XX01:
I opened with Bank of America. They asked me for my international passport. I used my Naija address and my host's address. The account needs a minimum of 1500 dollars every month or they will charge a fee of 12 dollars a month. It comes with a cheque book and debit card. It didn't take more than 15 minutes to open and get internet and mobile access. I deposited cheques and cash at an ATM.

U can only buy 4000$ at a time per quarter. Either whole or part. As in, u can buy $4000 from bank or travelex but u can't buy again dat quarter. Or u can split it. $2000 here n there. E.g. Assuming u didn't hav d entire cash at d time of applying for one. Hope dat helps.

TripleKMama kindly ease my confusion before I confuse my sister here, can I buy at travelex and still buy from bank, or I have to choose from one of the above.

That's so sad. In fact annoying. Innocent people, capable of paying their bills, suffering for nothing. I so dislike d place he said 'stupid answer'. Do u need to hav visited USA before knowing they offer better infant & maternal survival? Has he visited anywhere else asides USA? It is well sha. May God help fix Nigeria so we avoid all this.

My Sister's Interview

Few mins ago, my sis just left d Abuja embassy and she was successful. To God alone be all glory. Prior to this, she had only been to Dubai & that was 10 years ago, or more.
This particular VO (#6) was bouncing any and everybody within his sight. My sister was in line to see #7 but the lady no gree commit after being refused, so my sis had no option than to enter #7.
I wrote an introductory letter two days ago as an after thot to the consulate explaining she was coming today & soliciting their cooperation. grin
Sis: good morning
#6: (very harsh & loud voice) hello. Why do you want to visit the USA?
Sis: I'd like to go assist my sister who is in the US during her chirdbirth.
#6: what is your sister's name? Spell it
Sis: spelt TKM name grin
#6: are u married?
Sis: yes I'm married with 4 kids (started bringing out family pic she printed yday) grin
#6: shouts irritably - don't give me anything until I ask u for it!
Sis: (quickly rearrange herself) ok
#6: (shouting) why didn't u list her as one of your relatives living in the US?
Sis: (also shouting back) She does NOT live in the US. She only traveled last week to have her baby in December.
#6: and u, do u plan to have any medical procedures while u are there?
Sis: (for this recession Abi?) No I don't.
#6: (for d first time in maybe this week...) Your visa has been approved. Pick it up in 2 days at ..... grin grin

Phew!
No single document was asked for. Im so grateful to God.

Who posted free coupon for Uber or Lyft? I need am now wink
temyb:
Hello all,
I just remembered an app I used instead of uber. It is called lyft,it gives u 5 or 10 free ride up to $10 each before it starts charging you unlike uber. It's also very easy to download and the drivers are fast to meet up with u.
As for sim, the best (maybe to me) is lycramobile for $29 per month and u can easily recharge online unlimited text&300 min to call Nigeria plus plenty megabytea to watch movies.
N.B Am not marketing oooo,just a way of reducing cost with the way dollars and naira are not smiling in these so called recession. 3 month here have learnt how to just manage myself.
