What to check before choosing banks in Ajah

  • Use recent signals

    • Timilehin A. ★★★★★ I wanted to pay for an online course with my Nigeria Sterling domiciliary account. Tried checking online, watched a lot of videos on different apps to download, all to no avail. It's either they tell you they can't do a smaller amount or their charges was too high or within 5 business days. Not until I checked Instagram and I came across Respectedfx. I downloaded their app and did the transaction fearfully. Of course, it was my first time dealing with them. So I sent a message to them. It wasn't even up to 30 minutes after confirmation of the transaction, I got credited in my domiciliary account. I will use them over and over again. I recommend them anytime and anywhere. Fast and low fee.
    • Chuka E. ★★★★★ I had an amazing experience with RespectedFX at Ikota Shopping Complex. I needed to convert Naira to dollars, and RespectedFX not only made the currency exchange process seamless but went above and beyond by depositing the dollars directly into the recipient’s Zenith Bank account on my behalf. This extra service saved me a trip to the bank, and they didn’t even charge me extra for it! The staff were polite, professional, and chill—plus, we shared some laughs, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend RespectedFX for their excellent customer service and smooth transactions. They’re reliable and make what could be a stressful process feel effortless!

    • Ifelunwa I ★★★★ The bank is just close to the entrance of road 3. It's easy to locate. There are many ATM machines there. The staffs are really helpful. Though I wonder why the air condition isn't working well. There's so much heat in the bank. This use to be a diamond bank branch. But it's now an Access bank branch.

    • Akerele G. ★★★★★ This is opposite the Eleganza city, along lekki-ajah way. The place is quiet comfortable even though small. If you are coming from lakwe, business school environment, you will get to Ajah under bridge first before getting to the place. Coming from lekki, law school side? You will get to Marwa bus stop, lekki phase one before getting there. I will strongly advise you not to visit this branch if you are in a hurry. They are short-staffed here, and service is always generally slow. Some staffs are particularly nice, but you will never know until you interact with them. You will need a nose mask on this premises. There is an ATM stand, and some other business around like printing shop, POS, etc.

Debit cards are not always available here though as they have to request from the head office. Having more staff would be very necessary to make transactions easier and faster on the busy days.
