Instructions to set up Guaranty Trust Bank online third party transfer


Training/ Instructions on setting up Guaranty Trust Bank Online Third party transfer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Have a computer, desktop or laptop. We do not recommendusing a smart phone because of small screen real estate. GTB is not fully optimised for mobile yet.
Step 2. Have internet connectivity
Step 3. Have your phone ready, because a text message may be sent for additional security measures
Step 4. Have a token. You can get this by going to any GTBank branch. This costs N3000. 

Step 5. Click on the REGISTER  button under INTERNET BANKING
Step 6. I suggest calling GTConnect to register
Step 7. Your account number will be a combination of your select digits of your account number + the digits 01
Step 8. You will select a Password which can be between 4 digits and 9 digits (do not quote me on that). The point that I am making is it is can be longer than a 4 digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). This is why is it called a Password, not a PIN.
Step 9. After you have obtained your User ID and Password, you are ready to login
Step 10. Enter your User ID and Password, and click login
On subsequent days after you visit gtbank.com
Click on the LOGIN  button under INTERNET BANKING
This would take you to a new page 
"Simple Tips to Protect Your Funds and Account" that reminds you of the Dos and Don'ts of internet banking 
Scroll down a bit, click on 'Continue"
Step 11. You will see "Do Not Disclose your…"
Scroll down a bit and click on "Click here to view your Account (s).
You are now logged into you online bank account
Step 12. Click on the Transfers tab. Click on "Transfer to any GTbank A/C"

You will see the following statement and instruction:
"With Guaranty Trust Bank Internet  Banking third party transfer is now easier. You no longer have to pre-register your third party beneficiaries. You can transfer funds from your Account to any other account within the Bank. To effect transfer of funds, simply complete and submit the form below."

Please enter the third party NUBAN account number or use your regular account format
Step 13:
Transfer Details
From: (this shows your own account number)
Stored Beneficiary: (after you have sent money to someone previously, you have the option to save their account number for future easier use. I recommend you saving our business account number, for easier transaction)
Account Number System: You can select NUBAN or Regular
After you click on either, wait for the website to load the next text bar , "To: "
Amount: Enter the funds to be transferred. 
Remark: You may enter a comment like "For tutoring and management services rendered"
Answer your Secret Question: When on the registering your online account with GTConnect, you will be asked to set up a Secret Question. GTBank would say that for added security reasons, they would not remind you what that secret question is. Therefore you should either remember the question, or write down both the question and the answer in a file somewhere.

Click on Continue

You will see a "Third Party Transfer Confirmation" page
Beneficiary Name: Olawale Johnson
Account Number: xxxxxxxxxx
Amount: ###,###

Step 14: "Click the white button on your token and type the transaction code generated:" Press the button on your token and enter the 6 digit code immediately, try not to delay. You may have to repeat Step 14 until the token and the website are synchronised to accept the code.

Step 15. Then click Submit

Congratulations you would have now sent your first GTB online 3rd party transfer
