i tried to
fix gtbank declined transaction : Dcc restriction. At the end, i still received same error. Due to this i decided to
apply for the gtbank dollar master card and tried it on the same website again. This time around, the payment was successful, what a relief.
So for those who want to apply for gtbank dollar master card, here is the process to get the card. From my experience.
I got an SMS notification that i should come and pick my gtbank dollar master card at the branch where i applied for it after a week. As usual, i got to the bank to pick up the card. I was given the gtbank dollar master card which was inside an envelop. At the top of the envelop, a warning message was written, stating that i should contact gtconnect service to activate the card first before changing the pin. I called gtconnect for the activation, they asked me some series of questions to know if am the owner of the card which is ok for security purpose
they also asked for the card number details and other personal information, which i gave them. They told me to wait within 1 hour, the card was activated.
After the card was activated, i was directed to meet one of their staff in charge of changing of card pin, i went and did the card change pin. I was given a white paper which contains the card pin. I went to the atm to change the card pin as usual and it was successful.
I tested it to see if i could check my account balance and it was successful.note that if you wish to check account balance via atm machine, you will have to select Current account option instead of savings, or credit. Current account option will display your account balance.
If there is one thing i like about the card is the fact that it has its own account number. This means it is not linked to your gtbank domiciliary account. This is an added advantage and also a security measure.for once, i don't like using cards that is linked to my main bank account because i want to avoid stories that touches the heart. I don't want to hear one day after waking up in the morning, that my bank account has been wiped out due to subscription based charges which i did not subscribed to. So due to the different account created for the card, it make it convenient for me to make use of it online without fear of the unknown.
It gives me freedom to make use of it online as all i have to do is to transfer money from my domiciliary account to the card account. Note that you can also make deposit into the card account if you have dollars at hand.although i have not tried to make use of it to receive online payment, maybe in the future i will.
Also note that the card is accepted in almost all countries for atm withdrawal and also online payment. For those who deal on mini importation, payment of hosting service, subscription for email marketing auto-responder, domain service etc. You can also try adding it on paypal to see if it would be accepted to verify your paypal account in Nigeria
i believe gtbank dollar master card is ok for online payment.
