I was disappointed by my branch in Bwari Abuja, when I was given small contracts less than #15, million,I went to the bank beginning to get APG, with my Landlord Property with building that am living with my family, the Contracts was given NGO branch (WHO)
What made me to lose interest in FCMB was them my account officer come with reports that my company was owning about 5 million Naira loan in my Union Bank Account which was not true because wrong Account number and R/c numbers was sent to CBN for inquiry,
Within that period I went to private money lenders with my 2010 Camry car for just #1 million before I can get APG .after one month and two weeks please is it fear,
Please check my cash inflows.A/n:1395207011 .Fagge Buchii Ltd ,I lost my 2010 Camry car to the private Leader because I was given to pay back ,please and please do something about your bank policy since then I can not recommend any of my friends to open an Account with FCMB.Thanks Okechukwu Izuogu
