plaetton:


Same as the other poster.
It took me 2 months of cajoling and shouting to get my few thousand USD from my Dom account.
No dollars, they kept on saying.

hamingra:


You are not saying the truth. If a bank tells you it doesn't have dollars to pay you, how then do you claim that they had converted your dollar to naira in your account! I have a DOM account and my bank tells me same thing but they advice I go to Abuja or any other state branch of their bank where the have enough dollar to give out.

Make you dey lie small small

rusher14:


I can tell you that I always get my forex from standard chartered bank mostly on the Island but sometimes in the Ikeja area without any hitch.

Even when the policy was that you couldn't use your cards abroad and all that, I never had any issue withdrawing from my dorm account over the counter.

Please do you mind stating where your bank is situated not necessarily the branch?

Do you operate a forex current account alongside your Dorm account?

repogirl:
the guy is right, same thing recently happened to someone I know. He had to call someone he knew personally in the bank [size=18pt](Skye)[/size] before it was resolved and he got his dollars.

These are hard times

marksburg:


oga u myt be right but I put it to u that u were only offer an alternative Wch was not mandated for u to accept. what was transacted for u is a dom-naira exchange. u proly took d offer Cos u were too in
a hurry to check another day or another branch.
payment of fcy is only based on availability as u can't compel a bank to pay u what it doesn't have. naira is our official currency and nothing else. thank you

Businessideas:

The case of Skye Bank is peculiar. Moving dollars into that bank is dangerous for now

ShootToKill:


Oga close your mouth, TWICE I went to the bank to collect my Dolls early this year. TWICE they told me they had no dolls to give and offered to pay in naira.
Infact when I logged into Internet banking my Dollars where converted to naira equivalent on screen.
Last I went there a month later, I clear 90% of what is in my dorm account.
So close your poverty-stricken mouth, I've been saving in dollars since my 100L days like many people that are financially futuristic.

Keneking:
OK so how does this affect the fact that Naira closed at 420/$ today.

Useless government

Chidonc:

you said it yourself that they told her they dont have pounds, they didnt convert her money to naira equivalent againts her will or was she paid in naira.

Buhari4dullard:

rusher14:


I still insist you are lying.

Name the bank that claimed not to have dollars to give you from your Dorm account.

Watch how members of this forum from such bank would debunk that statement.

olurotimi1:
but wasn't as difficult as we have now. Forget all those stories.

Zico5:
No matter the situation, I will never give up on this country. Let's politicians continue to play mind game. We brought ourselves to this level and we must rescue ourselves. Those breeding hatred are just wasting their time cos PDP has nothing to offer. We will just be back to square one. A bird at hand worth two in the bush. All we need is prayer not change of government. What did we gain from those that left, nothing and they drained everything in the treasury. Forward ever, backward never.

Buhari4dullard:

Avalon316:



You are right. My bank, access bank, told me that they would not pay me in dollars. I don't know why these guys ( rusher14, 1stcitizen, blueto) think shootTokill is lying. I have experienced such. Right now, I can't even withdraw my dollars, the only thing I can do is transfer .

agabaI23:
Stop saying what you are not familiar with. They have been doing that. It was worse before the naira was floated.

CosmeticChemist:


Can you send me a business proposal ? 5 million is not much.

rusher14:


Please be clear about facts.

Are you saying you run a domiciliary account (perhaps denominated in dollars) which has been funded and then you get deprived of your funds?

rusher14:




I insist your bank would pay out based on the currency deposited in your account.

Avalon316:


Yes, access bank will not give me my dollars if and when I need my dollars. They would rather give me the naira equivalent.

I was told this is a CBN directive.

Avalon316:


Bro, you sure about this? What bank?
