Banks stop use of ATM cards abroad By - December 20, 2015 Deposit Money Banks have commenced a process to stop all customers from using their payment cards, popularly known as Automated Teller Machine cards, for dollar-denominated transactions when they travel abroad with effect from January 1, 2016. SUNDAY PUNCH’s investigation also revealed the banks would not allow their customers to use naira-denominated ATM cards locally for transactions denominated in forex. This means bank customers will not be able to use their cards to buy products from foreign e-commerce sites like e-bay and amazon.com in which payments are made in forex.  The development follows the lingering scarcity of foreign exchange, especially the dollar, to settle obligations arising from customers’ use of the ATM cards for forex-denominated transactions. Already, Standard Chartered Bank has notified its customers that from January 1, 2016, they will not be able to use their naira-denominated ATM cards for transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies, either locally or when they travel abroad. In a notice to its customers, Standard Chartered said, “This is to notify you that from January 1, 2016, your naira card will no longer be enabled for international use. This is as a result of the limited foreign exchange supply in the financial market.” Asked how long the suspension of cards from international transactions would be, the spokesperson for Standard Chartered Nigeria, Mrs. Dayo Adurogbo, said, “We cannot give a definite date. It depends on how soon it is available. We will do everything to meet our customers’ demand once it is available.” Further findings showed that a number of other banks had stopped customers from using their ATM cards abroad but had yet to officially communicate this to them. Some customers told our correspondent that when they notified their banks of plans to travel and the need to enable their cards work overseas, they were simply informed that the cards could not be enabled for now due to issues relating to forex scarcity. SUNDAY PUNCH findings showed others banks might issue notices similar to that of Standard Chartered Bank before the end of the year. “We had some discussions recently and some top bank officials said they would stop customers from using their naira-denominated cards for international transactions due to the serious challenges in getting forex to settle their international partners,” a top bank official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, said on Friday. The current situation means customers travelling abroad for Christmas and New Year may face severe payment challenges, a situation that may mar their shopping plans. The fall in prices of crude oil, the main earner of foreign exchange for Nigeria, has made the nation’s forex income to reduce drastically, creating dollar scarcity crisis for the Central Bank of Nigeria. The CBN has been rationing dollar to banks, importers and other forex users as the nation’s foreign exchange reserves continue to deplete, hitting $29.4bn on December 7, 2015. The PUNCH had exclusively reported on Thursday that banks had cut the amount that their customers could spend using their debit and credit cards abroad by between 70 and 90 per cent. This took effect during the first week of December for the majority of the banks. Specifically, banks cut customers’ card spending in foreign currencies from the annual $50,000 allowed by the CBN to between $5,000 and $15,000. According to findings by our correspondent, Ecobank Nigeria Plc has reduced its limit from $50,000 to $5,000, with a maximum of $500 monthly and $100 daily expenditure. Skye Bank Plc, in a notice to its customers via email, also slashed its international card spending limit from $50,000 to $12,000 annually, a maximum of $1,000 monthly and $100 daily. Wema Bank Plc also slashed spending on its payment cards from $50,000 to $10,000 annually, $1,000 monthly and $100 daily. Although other banks have yet to confirm their new international card spending limits, findings b |

Because of d testimonies I ve read so far, I would like to advice mums to be applying for visa. U can be pregnant and apply for visa for vacation, it is not a crime and it is allowed. When I went for my visa interview, I was pregnant but it wasn't obvious I actually did want to birth in the us but didn't have d funds during visa application so I knew I cannot say I'm going to birth when I cannot prove I can fund d bill. A lot of family and friends who had gone before me to give birth advised me to conceal my pregnancy since I wasn't showing, I didn't argue with them but agreed with hubby DAT if we were asked we will say the truth. During the interview, I was asked if I was pregnant and if I would like to seek medical attention and I was honest with the vo. I told him I was pregnant but not decided yet if I will give birth there. And he went ahead to say if I decided to give birth I should ensure I pay my bills. And these information I'm sure was part of my interview transcript. When I now had enough monies in my account and was sending the change of intent letter, I even referred to our interview conversation, telling them I ve no decided to give birth there since I can now afford to do so. Poe was just a breeze when d CBP requested for proof DAT d vo was aware of my intentions as i printed my mail as part of my poe doc. There was no secondary inspection. My point is u don't ve to lie to get what u want. Even though we didn't even have up to 400k in both accounts we presented for d interview. So please mom n dads to be just be smart about how to package it situation and with God on it side u will succeed. Sorry for d longest post I've ever had d courage to post. 19 Likes |

Posh404: I feel you jare... I was in JFK last year as a 1st timer in the US travelled alone. it was such a breeze I was like ogwucha?! (Is that all? ) abi e still remain no secondary inspection even though I declared food, spices etc. At times stories we hear can give unnecessary BP. But then I heard JFK is so because of the traffic it's a very busy airport. Newyork is a business hub, tourist center, really multicultural. Heard DFW dallas is even better.

neks31: Most times, using the wheel chair makes your movement easier and faster. Cos while others are trying to locate their gate and walk there, you are being driven/wheeled there directly and given priority treatment most of the time. You don't lose anything by booking it. However, if you get to the POE and there isn't much queue or stress, you can decide not to use it. Safe trip. 1 Like |
