Stanbic is an multinational bank (well known for its investment/trading activities) and they invest greatly on their staff in terms of training. You get about 4 trainings a year.


The salary as well is not bad at all. I personally will go for stanbic. Having said that, gtb aint bad as well out but I feel they are more into commercial banking.

bro...first of all congratulations what i really knoe abt GTB is their pay abt 2.7milll/annum which is on their appointment leta,n u got 2 be trained 4 3month n u get stipend of 50k,u are xpected to get above 68% after which u guys wud be posted based on ur performance,the high guys get the oppurtunity to choose lag,abuja n so...abt career advancement n the study leave i wudnt knw abt that...n dat 4 stanbic

Well, I served in stanbic nd I fink GTB is better, infact most of d staff in stanbic nw r resigning nd going 2 banks like GTb, citi nd co. Stanbic don't really promote deir staff, u won't grow, d operatn manager hs bin in stanbic 4 10yrs nd she's still an operatn manager while her mates in GTB r nw regional managers. So I fink GTB is better,

House plz,i got a text message that i am invited for job interview as a marketer for stanbic ibtc through a recruiting agent. After d interview in lagos i was told that am successful,that i should come with a gurantor letter or number with #2000 for job registration. Could this be a scam?

Sounds like a scam to me...

It's really sound like a scam but follow ur instinct...

@obicentlis guy na scam run 4ur dearlife except u want to give offering......@gtb and stanbic praz

My advice is u go for GTbank....... GTbank is d best bank to start a career now in Nigeria. U get d best training for 4months and d entrylevel pay now is about 3M/annum (tax inclusive). Pass mark @ training is 65% average score. I have experienced d 2banks in question and I know wats up. @Olukamber; I'm not so sure about d 4trainings in a year u talked about.........

Victory4sure, as ur name connote, this is a sure victory.

The house have really dealt with ur question but my only advice to u is to seek for divine direction. let the one that gives job direct u to where u will be announced.

I don't really belv in going for the best but for the one that will suite ones dream and make one to excel in life, creating a life time career path...

A place may work for someone but may not work for others. Everything in life needs divine direction.

Note that after counsel, u need to take the decision which I call the BOLD STEP to fulfillment... GO AND MAKE IT HAPPEN

leggie, pls can i ask u some few questions as regards all these gt stuffs, pls its urgent, send me ur email so i can follow up, thanks
