Hi everyone, I am a jjc(student) in the uk (bournemouth) and want to get an apartment but a guarantor was requested which I don't have, so they suggested I use guarantor companies in the uk (which looks somehow to me). Please advise before I chook my head. |

pittoilet: Congrats and welcome to the land. For your apartment, are you searching for shared room or flats. If is room, search spareroom.co.uk, you don't need a guarantor for most of the rooms but if is flat, you need to meet the financial requirements or search directly through a private landlord. All the best. 1 Like |

I do but no, it doesn't have African DSTV channels. For African channels, I mostly watch YouTube LiveStreams while for movies, I use IrokoTV app. omopapa: |

Fill the PDF link below and send to the email address on the form. There's the option to select Token and Mastercard. Once complete and processed, courier cost deducted from your account. https://www.gtbank.com/uploads/download-forms/NRN-Account-Colectibles-Courier-Delivery.pdf If your account isn't NRN, you might need to feel another form (account update). If I recall, I also did a video call to verify my identity. They are usually quite quick I just only had to chase cos them no receive my form. When I sent to the nrn email, I had to compress file like 5 times cos they no receive the original lol. justwise: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

justwise:I recently went through the NRN process. It took me months but this was during the lockdown so that may be a factor. I called their contact centre and was sent some forms to update my details (My phone number and address were not up to date). I was also sent a token request form to fill. I paid about N2500 for the token and courier which cost about N6k. You can download the form online and email it as indicated above. 2 Likes |

Bourne007: Well regarding NRN i have not updated that account with my UK details, so basically its not NRN account, so it may be a long process. Thanks for the head-up anyway. |

dustydee: Ok i got it now, though i was able to use 737 to send money to a relative though the problem is that you can't send more than 50K a day, so i have to send only 50K and tomorrow i will send another 50K...and a day after tomorrow... You will be asked to create a pin but you can't use it for mobile banking |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by umarwy(m): 11:10pm On Sep 29, 2020 |
justwise: Same thing happened to me, after I reset my phone. I then switched to the ,*737... Service. You just have to get token when next you are in Nigeria. Or they can send you a card and token for 10k. But you have to send notorized copies of proof of address, ID, etc. To NRN at gtb |

In fairness, it wasn't long (apart from the days PDF file wasn't received so had to compress). Might be different with the current situation justwise: |

omopapa: I have the Amazon FireTV box and 2 firesticks, been using them for years to stream UK and international channels including DSTV full package etc. What you need to do is go on Aliexpress and search for IPTV, ask for a trial until you get the one with the channels you need. 3 Likes 4 Shares |
