Sylverly: Lately GT Bank have been stressing me and have made investments having tenors of 97 and 178 days. Though I did not specify a stop rate, I asked that my bid to be done in the primary market. Yet I got 12.97% for 97 days when I was expected their rate for 91 days (I specified the tenor). The CBN stop rate turned out to be 14.14%. I had to get to the bottom of it. One absurd, standout statement my account officer made was that the bank was not successful in the primary market. How could that happen to GT bank, and in Nigeria? Another shocking thing he said was that he invested my funds in the secondary market because he knows that customers' only concern is to have their money invested, they can't wait for two weeks. I let him know that I'm certainly not that kind of customer. Haste and desperation are not my thing! I've decided to put in more and clear details and instructions (rates, tenor, primary market, and what to do if they decide not to get me exactly what I'd asked for) in my next application (if I still invest via GT bank) and to follow them up with phone calls (too much stress!) once my application has been sent my account officer. I'm leaning towards porting to Stanbic IBTC (I prefer forms to letters, always!) or any other primary dealer. I've got 'till end of September. |

I submitted bid through GTbank, but till now I have not been debited! what could be the issue? |
Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by ukay2: 9:20am On Aug 04, 2016 |
LuzSp: No mind GTBank....they MIGHT invested your money in this primary NTB auction maybe got 15%, and resold it to you as a secondary market at 12.97%, making a gain of 2.03% without stress... That is what most banks do....even STANBIC IBTC Bank... But their own is that you have option to bid for yourself and once your bid is successful, they will not tell you stories......The BEST thing is to bid for yourself and take the risk... Since I understood this, I have been bidding for myself.... For all successful bidders....debitting of your accounts will start today till Friday(tommorrow).... So relax if your account is well funded.. 2 Likes |

LuzSp:These banks have been milking us. The most annoying aspect of it is,they claim to have your interest at heart. Just of recent I opened a Diamond account , having in mind not to request for a debit card, just few hours after I got an alert that my account has been debited for the debit card. |

adetolanex: Oga Sir, them no mess up, they gave you option to bid for yourself or make them bid for you...you told them to bid for you.... Maybe you go buy from them in their secondary market.. Next time gather muscle and bid for your self using advise stop rate from guys in this forum Keep learning... Always 1 Like |

feelamong: In my opinion, even Stanbic isn't exempted. Why wait till days later before debiting successful bidders? Imagine you have 2.501m in your Savings account, gave an instruction that 2.5m be invested at a given rate. Your account is charged maintenance fee of say, N700.. Even though your money was enough at the bid date, it becomes inadequate shortly afterwards and you are disqualified on the ground of funds insufficiency. |

Xkoba: Stanbicibtc is messed up. Their bid for 91 n 364 didn't go through. I missed on all fronts. Am so so sad. Though they are telling me that I can get it from the secondary market. What does that mean? Is it ideal. Please advise |
Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by unite4real: 10:21am On Aug 04, 2016 |
Etfash: That's not how it is done. They will debit ur account after discounting. 2.5M naira will not be debited from your account. For example, 17% of 2.5M is N425,000. The difference which is N2,075,000 is what ur account must have apart from the custody fee and commission which is very very minimal. Also DMO makes you understand that Auction date and Settlement date is different. Auction day is on Wednesday while settlement day is next day Thursday 3 Likes |

Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by unite4real: 10:39am On Aug 04, 2016 |
ukay2: That's it. Even Diamond and Access do same. He doesn't even need to have 2.5M in his account. With 2.1M, one can place a bid with 2.5M with the hope that the discounted amount does not exceed 2.1M. This is dependent on the bid rate. At 17% one is sure to not cross the mark but at 20%, the account will be underfunded. 1 Like |

Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by unite4real: 10:59am On Aug 04, 2016 |
ukay2: Most times at the branch level, they are usually confused. A direct head office enquiry will be a way to go. I did that with my bank when I started TB years back. There was mild drama in the bank until the head office was consulted and matter was resolved that day. It is shocking to know that only a handful of bankers even know what TB and BONDS are all about. I have personally made money out of tutoring few bankers all to my surprise. |
Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by Nobody: 11:04am On Aug 04, 2016 |
Etfash:Don't be afraid. That's how FBN does there own. You'll be debited first, and be credited on thursday. This is because you are not allowed to bid for yourself. Still waiting for my interest. |

My NTB for 182 and 364 days didn't fly with First bank, and I went with their bank rate as usual. They just refunded my money I'm left now with Stanbic, I bidded myself (17% for 182 days and 18% for 364 days) but yet to be debited. |
