You mean I can't link your debit card to Paypal? I am disappointed!

Its all Kenyan cards, there's a thread on that here look for it

seems those in real online businesses need to get the NBK Csrd?

What about the Nation Hela card?

Maybe it's about time I paid some attention to the M-Pesa and the Nation Hela cards. Let me see what I find...

Good article for anybody looking to withdraw their cash after being paid via Paypal. I am more interested in the paying side of things myself.

@seppuku. I hear you. RTGS is real tme and should take place seamlessly. EFT is slower or at pre-determined times but almost daily unless ofcourse during weekends. My 2 cents.

@chiaroscuro, nilihamia huko kutoka NBK hoping for better services lakini while I am impressed with some elements, kwa njia zingine wananiangusha sana. And their customer care head needs to fix that Victoria woman. ATT kibao! Anyways, they(she) still have one last chance to really piss me off and I might just look where you're saying...

If you think Thinking Big is bad, try "We are you".... I gave Standing Order instructions in March and upto now, it has never been effected. when i asked the customer care, they told me to fill in a form, lets just say, they must be using my forms for ungodly purposes because they've never seen the light of the day. Now, On sato, i went back to the same bank, the customer care lady, dismissively told me how busy they get and that the documents may have been lost.... and they had a problem with their systems... so i asked why no one told me that the request had not been effected yet I'd left my number on those forms.... she said i can fill in another form... well, lets just say, i am looking for a customer care in Thinking Big.... They better not angusha you on this one because i dont know where else to run. Am done with this "We are ..... someone else" crap!

RTGS should take just a few hours. if you did it past I think 4pm, then it should go through by the following day morning - may be by 10-ish. Well, that's the experience i've had with Lion.

A few years ago I had an account at NIC. One day I issued EFT instructions for a large amount (about 90% of the balance). It was effected immediately. Then some days later, I went to make a small withdrawal over the counter.

I was informed that the account was in OD. I asked how come and was referred to some attitude laden lady (A-L-L). She checked the record and asked rather rudely why I have been operating the account in OD all this time without authority!

I told her her that the account has NEVER been in OD. She retorted: "this account has never had money ever since you opened it! In fact your opening balance was an OD"

I tried to explain that that's an impossibility - accounts ALWAYS open with a positive balance - but she would not listen. Her response was "This computer never get's things wrong"!!! "huyu ni msema kweli"

Long-story-short: it turned out that my EFT had been recorded twice. Once with the correct date and a second time with a wrong date that was earlier than the day I opened the account!

Now that was a serious bug in their computer programme but nethier the manager nor the A-L-L could understand it. I am surprised that the bank still has customers!
