Good evening great people.
Gtb denied me primary market because I don't hear 50m o.😢☹️
Pls who else did primary market with other banks and what were the rates? Thanks

No mind them. That's what I'm being told oo.

I had to settle for secondary market, though the difference is not much. (I got 19.5% for 359 as against 20% at primary mkt)

My account officer is quite far was told to always reach out thru mails and is almost a month, attached is their mail for excuses, is the a better bank to do it I am tried of gt

I strongly suggest you physically go to any of their branches and get it done. From my experience, they can notorious when it comes to following up with such instructions via mail, unless you follow up continuously with calls.

To save the stress simply go to any branch, ask for those in charge, they will give you the rates, you fill the form and that's it. Usually doesn't take more than 10mins.

Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Risingcash94: 3:08pm On Jul 10

Good afternoon. Hope you're having a nice day? Pls I need to know if you reinvested your interest. And if you did did, they leave the interest that is less than a hundred thousand which could not be reinvested? If not did you get your upfront interest after you had been debited?
Cos I applied for reinvestment yet nothing was left. They even tampered with the balance in my account for their custodian fee.
I'm still waiting patiently hoping to see the least interest paid back into my account.
I'm curious because this is my first time investing with gtb. Thanks 🙏

It’s the bank’s decision

Not sure if GT gives certificate automatically.

Personally I've never gotten - though it's probably because I don't request. Usually I rely on the email debit notice and investment details (amt, tenor, maturity date) that shows up on my internet platform & it suffices for me.

You may need to reach out to them.

@bolded, no I have always collected my internet upfront. Usually they will debit the amount and processing fees, and leave the interest. Then at at maturity, the principal is paid.

If you not satisfied with their service you can try customer care line.

The quoted inflation rate is an average across a basket of goods selected by the government. Therefore, my inflation and your inflation may not be the same, depending on what we spend money on. For some people, inflation can be as high as 60%, while for others it may be just 15%, depending on the things they buy and their location, etc. You'd better calculate your own inflation rate, lol! wink

GOOD EVENING. PLS CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THE FORMULA FOR CALCULATING TREASURY BILLS AGAIN. I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD IT BUT THE AMOUNT GTB IS TELLING ME TO EXPECT AT MATURITY DOESN'T ADD UP. I JUST WANT TO BE SURE BEFORE I GO MAKE UNNECESSARY CONFRONTATION BIKO🙏
I ASKED FOR REINVESTMENT BUT AND THEY DIDN'T DROP A DIME. WHEN I CONTACTED MY ACCOUNT OFFICER THE AMOUNT SHE'S TELLING ME TO EXPECT IS NOT ADDING UP ESPECIALLY SINCE SHE SAYS I'M TAKING EVERYTHING AT MATURITY.

TENOR 359 days..
RATE. 19.50
Thanks

You seem to have asked this question more than once, so as a Nigerian let me answer it with question too.

You asked the bank to reinvest your upfront interest and you expect the bank to leave th interest in your account, is that what you're saying??

Cos if it is, then I don't understand again o.

You have added rate and tenure. What is not there is the principal and as such you may not get your desired response.

However, let me just try it with my crude way of calculation I use. I don't use excel and I also don't know any complex maths for it but if I want to invest say about 1m with that tenure and rates, I will be expecting about N1,228,579.66. This is how I do mine.

Below is my calculation.

1,000,000 ÷ 100 x 19.50 ÷ 365 x 359 = 191,794.521

The bolded above is the upfront interest you are supposed to get originally.

191,794.521 ÷ 100 x 19.50 ÷ 365 x 359 =
36,785.1382

The bolded above is the interest to be realised from the reinvested interest.

Add the principal and 2 of the bolded above together. You will arrive at my response above.

I = P * T * R / (number of days in the year)

I - Interest to be earned
P = Principal
T = Tenor
R = Rate in percentage
number of days in the year = 365 or 366(Leap Year)

P = 1,000,000 (Assume you are investing N1m)
T = 359
R = 19.50 = 19.50/100 = 0.195

I = (1,000,000 * 359 * 0.195) / 366 = 191,270.49

So your Interest is 191,270.49

GTB should debit you with: 1,000,000 - 191,270.49 = 808,729.51

NB: Charges are not included in this explanation.

Note: Different banks have different ways of passing the entries. Some banks will debit you with N1m and then credit you with 191,270.49. At maturity, you are now credited with N1m.
