Good day all, shout all to all our children. May God bless and keep them for us Amen. Sorry to deviate from our discussion a little but l need to share this to know if someone had experienced such or for advice from who can be of help. I opened a BOA account when l went for birthing in 2015 and have been using the account. I specifically mentioned then that l came for birthing and gave my office addy in Naij as my second address. Since then l have been using the account. Most times l use the account to buy online(eBay, Walmart and Payless) or pay professional dues. I was in US last March and l used as well. I also do make trsf to friends using BOA or through quick pay. I got a mail on Thursday that my account is below minimum balance and that l should fund the account. I was disturbed cos l still have enough above the 25$ min balance. On logging in to the account, l saw a hold of $888,888.88. throwing my account into debit. Mehn, l nearly had heart attackt. A debit of over 300M in naira. That was how it started. I called their line, they kept transferring me from one staff to another till they closed. Please note my account type is safe balance banking. It's sort of a savings account. No cheque and no credit on the account.
Fellow nairalanders, l called through out on Friday, they gave their investigation/complaints number. I called and it was answering machine that has been picking. Finally, one of their customer care resolved to put a memo on my account to contact me on my naija number but am yet to hear from them.

Please house, has anyone experienced such or knows someone that have experienced such. Since Thursday my mind has not been at rest. Wetin l no chop l no go fit vomit o. With my experience in banking l find it hard to comprehend.

Please and please advice oooo.
Oga justwise bikooo

Your account has been closed. For whatever reason which they would not inform you, they have decided to close your account. We have a couple of accounts with them for several years and we got a similar experience like you did. We were able to get our balances sent to us via cheque.
Keep calling if you have balances in the account. Alternatively you can follow up by making complaints via their twitter handle. They are sure to respond to you as no one likes any negative press.

I think it depends on each individual's preference. @ Austine2020 While this thread is on having your baby in the US, for some going to the US to have your baby does not necessarily mean you should give up on some essentials or comforts which ever way you choose to look at it. I always prefer to drive and i would just advise anyone doing so to procure an insurance. Not every Nigerian is a reckless driver. My two cents...

chibertha:
I just tire.
The metro bus or train is there in some states and very cheap.Uber is there taxis are there.
Just use google to know your route and bus number.
If you stay in a place that there is no metro route take a cab to the nearest park and ride or transit center and off you go round town on your way back do same.
My view though correct me if I am wrong

Apologies for the harsh words...

The truth is that this forum has been very helpful to all and sundry and such unsubstantiated information is not good to be disseminated here.

There is a cbn circular halting the sale of PTA...it came into effect since last year.

No bank ...i repeat no bank sells pta...you can put a call to cbn feedback team online and make valid enquiries...pta and bta have been halted same with bdc...




Apologies...no harm intended but you lie my sister....kindly call the bank and branch and put me to shame.....until then...quit disseminating false information....when people that drafted the circular and attend mpc meetings talk you listen.
