Oops. Rates are going down! 🥺

Mayday mayday. rates are dropping seriously.

Kaybeedon:
Pls can anyone enlighten me on this Tbill of a tin

I would advise you to use google and do your research, just let you know that it’s very low risk investment but be prepared for the uncertainties.

With the lowered rates, I can predict that many banks' bids would fail.

i invested 8,95 at 19%, 289 days on the 27th of August last month, First Bank.

i investment the interest paid upfront too with the main investment, i didn't collect any interest

I went to the bank today for Full Termination of the investment, and i was told i will be paid 8 in return.

i.e 23 loss in less than 2 weeks

that i was charged based on the current discounted rate

Am really confused.

please help

Termination initiated by you will attract all kinds of hidden & open charges from the bank , banks are happy when you come and terminate an existing agreement / investments with them because it will enable them unleash their banking Koboko laden with chilly pepper to flog you and rip you off

Was 8,950,000 the amount that was taken from your ?. When you invest in TBs, interest is paid to you upfront.

Na so o. The upfront interest dey always sweet people that are new to TBs not knowing that trying to terminate before maturity has some hidden charges. You cannot eat your cake and have it.

am still in d bank, am really confused.

i thought rates has dropped, so i should not be penalised this much for pre mature Termination

i didn't collect any interest, and its not funny

and i have been doing TB since 2018.

i have done pre mature Termination before, and its not like this

Ikmontana1:

It makes no difference, whether CBN, first or Zenith or Uba or Stanbic or Gtb bank etc they are all guilty of the same offence, waiting for you to terminate your existing investment and they will bring out Koboko laden with chilly pepper to flog the investor or investee

And you do not know that the rate you bought a TB is not the rate that will be used to do a premature termination for you?. The banks are there to make money. Try to do a Fixed Deposit and go and terminate before maturity date. You will be charged a penalty which can be on the interest accrued so far or on the Principal amount.

The gif below is what Nigeria banks like to do to those ( investors & investees)who terminate their investments before time, they have a special Koboko in their strong rooms, kept and waiting for debtors, investments terminators, loan defaulters, those who borrow money and keep their CofO with their banks etc

Like I predicted, Stanbic's bid failed for 91 days. Don't know for the other tenors.

Ask them the discount they want to take on it.

It looks like they want to take 22% discount on the remaining 279 days.

That's too steep, especially now that rates are falling.

You should be able to sell off at 19-20% tops.

I wish there was P2P for this, you would have found someone here that would buy at 18%, allowing you even make a little profit.

Every bank has systems that do all these things. Just a click and some information entered and the system computes. Most staff will not even know the behind-the-scenes processes because everything is automated. The automation is to prevent staff short changing the bank or short changing the customer.

200k in fees and rate is nasty work, do you care to share what the banking error was before it was rectified?
