'IF YOUR CARDS AREN'T WORKING,BECOME THE SOCIALITE OF BANKS' - CONTROVERSIAL BLOGGER BIKO ZULU BLASTS CHASE BANK



Controversial blogger Biko Zulu yesterday blasted Chase bank Kenya for their half baked services and not working traveler's MasterCard.

Biko posted a rather long and sarcastic post addressed to Chase bank saying that his card had not been working for the last three days during his visit to Bangkok,Thailand even after one of their employees had assured him that he won't be having any problems with the card.

He added that his efforts to reach the bank to get things sorted had been futile as he had been given the annoying "excuse the systems are down" and that the card was nothing but dead weight in his wallet as he could not use it.

The award winning writer  went on to say that if the bank knew that their cards are not working they should just get a sponsor or better yet become the socialite of banks.

His post reads in part,"I've just had one problem with it, it bloody doesn't work!! Nothing beats getting a "Transaction Failed" response at the POS. Thrice. In five different stores. I look broke. I look like I need a home. I told one skeptical cashier that I'm a prince back in Africa and there is money in there. Security hovered around. You are screwing me up, Chase Bank and to think we are only a month into this relationship!"

Truly,Biko is one furious and frustrated guy! Hope Chase bank will save their fave by fixing this all too rampant problem according to the various comments on the post.

Read the full post below.





Dear Chase Bank I hope this finds you well back in Nairobi. Actually, I hope this doesn't. I will make this quick because it's just after 6pm here and I have to go back to my room, shower and then get myself to Patpong (Google that) for this epic show. Right now your pre-paid Traveller's Card is as useful to me as a VHS cassette. I guess because your staff is mostly young and innovative (roll eyes) they might not be acquainted with the VHS terminology. In short, this is not a compliment. We have a problem: your card hasn't worked since I landed here three days ago. Just dead weight in my wallet. Like those friends who go to the loo when it's time to pay the bill. The irony is a lovely lady at your Ad Life branch promised me that I would not have many problems with it. She was right; I haven't had many problems with it, I've just had one problem with it, it bloody doesn't work!! Nothing beats getting a "Transaction Failed" response at the POS. Thrice. In five different stores. I look broke. I look like I need a home. I told one skeptical cashier that I'm a prince back in Africa and there is money in there. Security hovered around. You are screwing me up, Chase Bank and to think we are only a month into this relationship! I was told by your young and hip people that it was a "systems" problem which is perhaps what IT guys tell laymen when they want to step out to lunch. Because does this "system" have a Twitter handle I can reach them on? Where does this system go to lunch? Now let's make one thing straight, I like you, Chase. You are all right. But you can put as many complimentary sweets in your swanky banking halls as you can but if your cards don't work when I meed them t work then you might as well start growing yams instead. Or just become the socialite of banks and get a sponsor. Get some of those young chaps with earphones dangling from their ears to fix this joke. I'm far, I'm frustrated and if this shit continues for much longer you will drive me into the arms of a ladyboy. And we don't want that, Chase. Do we? Yours, untruly Bikozulu #bikozulu #bangkokDiaries #chasebankkenya
