According to a research conducted by Leadership, UBA has the highest number of banks in Nigeria.
UBA has 1,750 ATMs, closely followed by GTBank with 1,165 ATMs and in third place Access Bank with 1,564 ATMs.
Other banks has quite a number too and that adds up to 17,398 total number of ATMs as at 2016.
This number is quite small compared to the number of bank users in Nigeria. It often times causes a lot of challenges hence the many drama that happen at the ATM stand
While we encourage banks across the country to continue to improve on mobile banking and ATM transactions as concerted efforts to move more people to digital channels, we have to deal with the many issues that occur at the ATM stands in Nigeria.
Scooper gives you 7 People you will meet at the ATM Stand In Nigeria.
Mr Disappointed With Life
This guy has many things to say about the wrongs in Nigeria. This one is fond of picking quarrels with the ATM.
Even though the machine keeps reading his pin is incorrect or his card has expired, he keeps swearing.
He will quickly get infuriated if you are not rushing or lining appropriately.
The Accountant
This ATM user will count and confirm every single note of his money before exiting for the next person as if he can beat up the ATM if N20 is missing.
He takes his time, meticulously inspects his notes.
The ATM Illiterate
This one is always asking questions. He doesn’t care if you came to use the ATM or not! He’s always asking, “Is it paying?”, “Which bank are you using?” “Have you withdrawn?”
These are the people, mostly old, who don't know their way around the system and are too proud to ask.
So they'll be there, delaying trying to "figure it out".
They'll ignore every mutter from the crown behind then till a security guard comes to the rescue and helps them through it.
The Money Monger
Those big heads that will come to withdraw 100k from an ATM that dispenses only 10k at once! Aunty, Uncle! Don’t you have the fear of God? Look at the multitude on the queue nah! If it gets to my turn and it says temporarily unable to dispense cash, forget oh, I and you will share that 100k that you came to withdraw.
This people know how long the line is and they decide to withdraw the whole money in the ATM. The saddest thing is ATM’s only dispense 20,000 at a time. Then we have to wait and listen to the song of the machine. Then you get to your turn and see “Temporary unable to dispense cash”
The Teacher
The teacher is very enthusiastic to teach an ATM user how to do it whether they solicit for help or not. He will be backing orders to you from behind and always looking for ways to come to you.
ATM Huggers
This people go to the ATM to withdraw just 1k, but somehow they end up spending up to 20 minutes.
Please what are you doing there? How many people are you withdrawing the 1k with? Abi how many buttons are you pressing?
Bastards
There are no words to describe these ones. Those people that would just walk to the machine with their big chests like they own the bank. They can see a queue o, but join the queue, NO, they won't! And you're like 'bros, can't you see a queue?'
“I am rushing” They say.
Having seen us that have plans to sleep here.
