WHAT RATE DOES YOUR BANK CHARGE PER DOLLAR?

So I tried paying for A Brogue from Aliexpress at the rate of $42.47 and I was charged N13,000 by Gtbank. Meaning GTB charged 299 to $1. I don't know how much other banks charge but I learnt Stanbic charges 280 to a dollar. This will help those of us that buy often online know which bank charges less when it comes to online transaction. How much does your bank currently charges to a dollar?

MTN DISCONNECTS UNREGISTERED LINES AND LOSES 4.5million NIGERIAN SUBCRIBERS

A report from Bloomberg has confirmed the number of subscribers that has been disconnected by MTN. The company had to cut off 4.5 million unregistered subscribers in Nigeria so as to tread with caution following their recent drama with the NCC. In general, MTN’s customer base decreased by 1.4 percent to about 229 million across 22 countries. Bloomberg reports. According to MTN’s Executive Chairman Phuthuma Nhleko “In order to mitigate any future regulatory challenges, the group took an exceptionally conservative stance by disconnecting all subscribers who could possibly be deemed to be non-compliant. This has had a significant unfavorable impact on total subscriber growth and revenue in the first quarter.” MTN currently has 30.08 million subscribers in South Africa and 57 million subscribers in Nigeria. Of course, you can expect MTN to do whatever it takes to improve the numbers. So start expecting some promos coming your way.

MTN CUSTOMER CARE NOW AVAILABLE IN WHATSAPP

I’ve been expecting this to happen considering the rate at which WhatsApp is growing by the day. You can now reach MTN customer care on WhatsApp instead of dialing 180 and waiting endlessly for CC to pick up, you can simple chat them up and in minutes your need will be attended to. I think they are actually the first TELCO to have  customer care services on WhatsApp. And some of the issues to be attend to on MTN WhatsApp includes Education on products & services, Customer complaints, Inquiries among others. The following are the 5 (five) MTN Dedicated WhatsApp Number to add: » 09033000001 » 09033000002 » 09033000003 » 09033000004 » 09033000005 This is a good move but we need lay more emphasis on MTN giving us cheaper data plan. This is my number one complain.
