In a surprising turn of events, Access Bank has reduced its transaction fees for payments received from Facebook, slashing the charges from $10 to just $2. This change comes after a customer expressed dissatisfaction with the previous charges, which were seen as too high for the small earnings generated through Facebook’s in-stream ads.
The customer, who had frequently received payments from Facebook for their content, voiced their frustration with the charges, which amounted to roughly 17,500 Naira per transaction. Last month, they contacted the bank’s customer care, expressing their dissatisfaction and warning that they might switch to another bank if the issue wasn’t addressed.
The following payment, made just two days ago, showed a drastic reduction in the transaction fee, leaving the customer both surprised and curious. The question on everyone’s mind: was the fee reduction a direct result of the complaint, or was it influenced by external factors?
Some speculate that the bank may have responded to the customer’s feedback, recognizing the fee structure as excessive. Others wonder whether the influence of social media or the growing power of online communities, including figures like Verydarkman, played a role in the sudden change.
Regardless of the reason, this fee reduction has sparked a conversation about the importance of customer feedback and the power consumers have in influencing service changes. For now, the customer is pleased with the adjustment, but the mystery remains: was it the complaint, or something else, that led to the fee reduction?
