Gbagura:
But cbn has stopped naira cards from international transactions. Is the bank an exception from the policy?

pierrenwob:


I transfer US$ from my dorm account to my US$ prepaid. It works and it is instant.

Vyntra:
Does anyone know the chance of retrieving items that have been flagged for return, the last time i tracked it, the response I got was the third picture

Babalegba:
The dollar card is physical, you buy dollars from aboki and deposit in the account then GTB will deduct their own $10. You would also need to go with your nin identity card as well.The whole process takes little time.Note that you cannot transfer dollars to the account from another account but you can do that with a dorm account.

Gbagura:
Every items I've bought from the Choice so far has been shipped through speedaf and they ship almost instantly. Seems aliexpress already have those listed items in their warehouses assembled for instant dispatch once payment have been made.

Yh, i noticed thesame but limitations dy on the options of most goods they sell, for e.g you may want to buy an item with options of different colour, pouch, more batteries but it won't be available, they choose only the cheapest option most times

That aside, both NG******R & NG*******E are shipped with SpeedAF but one that ends with 'E' is self pick up but 'R' is home delivery, do 'Choice' deliver only for home or both home & pick up?

shadeshadow:
Abeg, is anyone experiencing their goods unable to clear customs? It has been that way for 4 days now.


The only thing there are 3 sunglasses and a charger head.

I did ask the fx cashier at GTB if my friend could transfer dollars from his dorm account to my dollar card account and she said no. I never asked if I could transfer from my own dorm account as I don't have one. I will ask somebody to transfer to the account for me to see if it works.Many of the bank staff are full of misinformation.

How do I withdraw money off the gtb dollar prepaid card if I choose not to shop with it again?

I really don't know why a lot of you don't know about standard Chartered Bank USD card!
It's totally free of charge, they will ship it to you within 2weeks to your house/home address through fedex

This is their dollar rate.

I attached it to this post.

But I guess the issue here is the bank branch is limited to certain locations in nigeria

Because you have to go deposit the money in to your dollar account in any of their branch, they will collect your naira and convert it to dollar and deopist it to your Dom account, they don't charge you shi shi for anything, let me tell you the truth every other bank dom account na bullshit for nigeria here. If you have opportunity to use standard Chartered Bank, use them you no go regret am. Everything is free no charges, no annual charges.

I love the bank and their services. I already have an account there, the problem is that they don't have branch here in Uyo for me to go deposit the naira for them to convert.

Macmilla:

I don't understand. So even if you have a nairaland account with them, you still can not transfer the naira? Are they not a bank? Please explain.

Olamak1:

I'm very sure a few minutes of googling can answer your questions. You can check this out for a start https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/08/14/10-nigerians-achieving-extraordinary-feats-in-the-diaspora/amp/
Just stop making such despicable generalisations, referring to a whole country as nonentities. Yes, a lot of Nigerians are grossly myopic and elect their leaders with their cauda equina. Still, such generalised insult is not smart. Especially when coming from someone who claims to be educated.

9jamemez:


I really don't understand your question

Macmilla:

I think the question should be how does the 75% increment affect us aliexpress shoppers?

jboixxx:
Except if he's using it, else, my interpretation of that rates is other currencies to Naira.

I'm done with that bank for now. Banks with limited branches and abysmal customer service is a no no for me. Had an OTP issue with those MFs and I was told to go to their nearest branch to resolve it! 700km trip to resolve OTP issue. Had to withdraw my money via POS operator.
