One navy official was causing commotion in a bank one day but the bank settle him.he was posted to base and went to the bank to withdraw money for his transportation. Unfortunately the atm debit him 20k without paying and that was the last money on his account. So why won't him cause commotion. Lesson 1 always have back up.ie at at lest 5K at home& In your wallet hidden somewhere like 1k. Lesson 2 have reorder level. Don't wait till your last lobo before withdrawing.why Nigeria like fire brigade things 1 Like |

My case was so embarrassing and infact i see it as my most embarrassing situation ever. I just realized i had no dime on me on this particular day and i was like "i cant lend money from my neighbor as he may read crazy meaning to that" so i trekked to the ATM center which was like 20minuytes walk just to get to the ATM machine to see contact operator service. I was like wetin be this and i had to trek to another ATM machine just to see same prompt. I was told i had to go to my bank which means i will need N100 for transport and i was like OMG! I stood there for over 20minutes hoping things will change but nope and i am left with no option BUT TO BEG FOR N100 from someone there. I was like never so i called my brother hoping he may be driving towards that area but he was far from where i am and i had to summon courage to call a man discreetly to beg for N100. I felt like entering the ground that day. GOSH! 1 Like |

Intercontinental bank before it was merged owe me 20k from 2010 Went to a party met my old mates and brothers and we had to provide our own special drinks. I spent all I had to ensure everyone got drunk reminiscing about old times, work , family Relying heavily on my FBN savings via ATM , when I got there noooooo network. It was the time they were upgrading thier server it tooj them 5 days .I had to borrow TP from a friend who I didn't tell I was in his hometown initially . disappointed and ashamed but I learnt to always reserve TP even if long gone mum wants red wine |

udysweet: Mine has happened severally but der was always a reversal.However one happened in 2008 I can't forget.I came to Lagos from school to buy stuff to go back to sell.It was a Saturday,I had gotten to idumota to buy jewelry,I had just 200naira on me.I now bought this spray gun for insecticide for the 200naira with the mind that I'll have money when I witdraw to buy stuff.But something happened,I just saw myself calling back the person who sold the spray gun and collected my money that I don't want to buy again. The guy abused me sef but I just quiet. As I got to the ATM and punched in 20k,the thing counted and then ddnt come out,dey debitted me! I could not see who to complain to cos it was a saturday. Minde you I used an Intercontinental bank then but I used Spring bank ATM along dat idumagbo road. I now casted bak my mind to when I returned that spray gun cos infact that was the money I used to transport myself back home,lmao!!! Else I would have been stranded! If una see the kain vex I take go meet the branch manager that day o for inside dat same lagos island,cos I was supposed to travel on sunday. They still could not reverse it,na the bank mgr borrow me the 20k(I swear!) come say make I sign form say mak dem debit me when d money is reversed. Yeye man,na eye e dey eye me naim mak am giv me d money o,yeye fat goat! Me I just took the money and left jo.

from comments here,i think many haven't been really disappointed... I've got too many oppression from the ATM.. i was returning from school last year December..i just crossed the border into Nigeria, so i tried using my Ecobank card only for nearly 6 or 5 machines to reject it..i was later told by a security guard that ecobank had some network issues. i waited for nearly 3hrs no change... hence i decided to struggle my way home no matter what cus i wasn't ready to waste my last cash on hotel.i changed my little cfas left with me,it only amounted to about #2,000..i took a bus to mile2 with intention of getting a bus to warri only for all the bus companies to tell me that price has change oo as it was Christmas season..cost was #2,800 mhen!i felt like crying..i even met the manager there trying to explain my predicament to him hoping he'll see reasons and help... lailai the guy just shook his head and told me i can try sleep at the park till the next day maybe atm will work.. i was determined to get home with my little change with me.. i saw one cargo bus like that with market loads the guy was going to benin..he carried me for 2k.i passed the night at benin(iyaro park) after trying the Atms there all to no avail.next morning same thing...i was more than stranded...empty pocket,my phone's battery was flat..everything was bad for me that day.i even begged fellow travellers around for #10 to buy water,shockingly none help...i cried inside of me(as i help people reach,no one helped ne when i needed it) .. later,i managed to see a driver going close to where i live at warri.i explained to him,he saw reasons and offered to help.he took me home direct for #2,000 a beggar has no choice.. now,I've learnt my lesson.. i use two banks..there's no way both will disappoint at once. |

Been cheated 15k, used first bank Card on a GTB machine at Ilorin over a year ago, I wanted 45k, withdrew first 15k it was given the second and third was denied it said temporarily unable to dispense cash after I laid complaint it took them close to a month to give me back the second 15k and after about 11 months after writing to both local and head offices they told me that their records shows that I have collected the third 15k and they apologies for any inconveniences. Pure fraud. My advice is always use you bank card on your banks ATM machine if there is any problem it's easier resolved than using other banks. |

chibwike: Yeah, though happened to my friend. He wanted th withdraw money from an atm machine. On slotting his card, and doing the neccesary things, he immediately got a debit alert on his phone, ''but we no see the money''. Oboy, the guy ran mad,coz the money was huge. He had to go into the bank to complain, but they said he took the money, after all investigatoins, they now realised dat he never did that. They told us to go home, that they'd working on it. That was how we went home dissapointed and scared that we might not get the money again. Well after a week or so, they rectified the issue and we got the money. Buh that was one hell of an experience.Money from ATM is huge? Are u serious? |
