I have been following this thread for a while, so I feel like I should leave my experience here as well. I just got my GTB prepaid dollar card last week, and I didn't have an account with them prior to this. To get the card, they said that I had to have an account with them, even if it's tier 1. So, I opened a tier 1 account using my passport, and came back the next day for the prepaid dollar card. I filled a simple form for this and also provided another passport. The dollar card was received after 30 minutes of waiting. I didn't pay any cash to open any of the accounts.

My next plan is to get a UBA domiciliary savings account. This should also be free sha, but when I checked the bank last week, customer care told me that I need 1 dollar, my passport, and BVN. But, when I was directed to a different hall to open the account, the young guy there said that I need 50 dollars for it. Well, the thing shocked me sha, but I will be checking other UBA branches to see if that's the same everywhere. I tried opening the account online from the UBA website but their website is crap.

Guess your location is not Lagos, because those customer agents in lagos-based gtbank branches are very greedy, wanting to take advantage of gullible customers. Av been to two branches for their dollar card. One agent told me to bring $10 and the other said it's $20 for the same dollar card.

PIease I got the idea of using gomoney for appIe music here and it stopped a month ago now. Please who has an idea of what still works abeg?

Hello House,
Please From your experience is it advisable to order external ssd from Aliexpress …the reviews on the product and seller are good but there are negative ones as well but not as much as the positive feedback.

Thank you

No issues with mine. Buy from a reputable store.

Well, I will be getting my dollars from chipper cash, and to my knowledge they only send dollars to UBA domiciliary account, Zenith Bank domiciliary accounts, and one other band like that. Besides, the reason I am going for UBA is that the savings domiciliary account has no requirementa or any conditions for opening it

Enigma123:

If it's the UBA domiciliary savings account, it can only receive funds in dollars. I want to get dollars from chippercash and send it to the savings account. Withdraw the funds and pay it over the counter at GT bank into my prepaid dollar card. It's all for this promo. I can't miss it.

Yes, I am not in Lagos. Sorry about the experience Sha. I guess I am just lucky here, and I hope the luck holds out as I head to other UBA branches.

But banks don't want to pay dollar to customers anymore they give you that "No dollars" lie...

According to what I saw on the GT bank website, it's for this month. I don't know if they will leave it there for December

Olamak1:


Even quality products on aliexpress have negative reviews because, people see things from different perspectives. What you need is to check the overall ratings (in %) of the store you're buying from. For me, any store with 90% ratings and upward is good to go.

And to your question, yes you can buy your ssd from there.

Thanks for sharing your experience, i really appreciate your feedback.

What about 87% rating, is that okay too?. There are many reviews both bad and good but mostly good. As for the ssd with more than 90% rating it has only 3 reviews so I am confused with the one to go for. Will need your expertise now�

Thanks. I will check them out

Does gtbank MasterCard still work on AliExpress?

aieromon:


Yes, I did after 75 days.

Ha! Omo, I was wanting to order a battery and the only option available was seller's shipping method; guess I'll have to ditch the idea then

Batteries are normally not allowed in flights and can't be shipped conventionally which is the reason for that seller's shipping method and high shipping fee cause the seller will find a way to circumvent the system.

What battery are you trying to order and are you certain you won't find it here ? If you're sure then go ahead and try your luck with the order

Can both 1k for card issuance and 4k maintenance be paid in naira, or does it have to be in dollar?

Which one do u recommend for international transaction between prepaid dollar and domiciliary account?

Jess99:


This isn't true
I have both a dorm account and a dollar card. Account was opened at zero balance in February. Up till now, theyve never taken money from me and i never did that checklist. Dollar card was 1k for card issuance and 4k for card maintenance

Bro, were u able to open the prepaid dollar account with Gtb?

Olamak1:



QED!
Thank you for clearing the confusion on this domi-dollar-card issue! The other day, I was told that it's not possible to get dollar card without domiciliary account. To add to the confusion, I decided to call a friend working in gtb, telling him I would like to get a prepaid dollar card, but his response was that I must open domiciliary account to get it. Surprisingly this morning, I went to gtbank to make a deposit of some cash. Thereafter, I approached one of the customer agents telling her I would like to get "prepaid dollar card". The lady's response really shocked me simply because I was expecting her to mention domiciliary account and then hand over application form for me to fill. Rather than doing all that, she just said, "the requirements are: one passport photograph and 10 US dollar. "Is that all?" was my next question to her,and she answered in the affirmative. She even told me that the card would be issued out instantly whenever am ready for it.

it's a battery for a Huawei phone, the prices here are very high

On the link u provided.. it states driver license and valid passport only as means of identification

What about NIMC?

Olamak1:


Interestingly, I never discussed that with the lady before she told me what to do. I think it's available for all and Sundry, provided you're able meet the requirements. When I left the banking Hall this morning, I decided to go online to gather more information on it. Then I discover that the prepaid dollar card is available for account holders and non-account holders.

Bro, please explain to me how this app works.. Because I need to make international transaction beyond the 20$ limit set by banks

Brownshoe:
download Barter app from app store

You didn't pay for card issuance and maintenance?

Have you made any international transaction beyond the 20$ limit yet?

Then you might not get your battery from aliexpress because that's what you'll see in other stores. Generally, battery is seen as contraband, and so is not shipped directly using the legal means. That is why you see "via seller's shipping method" as the only shipping option. The store would have to look for means to get the battery down to you in nigeria. However, don't expect it through speedaf, but Nipost.

I thought you can only deposit in dollars for both prepaid dollar and domiciliary account?

Enigma123:

What are the requirements to open prepaid dollar account?

Does the deposit have to be in dollar or can u pay equivalent in naira?

Can international transactions beyond the 20$ limit?
