Coil accounts
The plan was to have 30 coil accounts open and ready for participants to work with. During the account opening it was discovered that multiple accounts could not open on a single bank account. Two accounts were thus opened using bank cards from UBA and GTBank. Also coil membership payment transactions using Fidelity Verve card was not allowed.
A personal gatehub account was opened for Oluwaseyitanfunmi Osunade, because Edanuso Consult could not meet the documentation requirements for a corporate account.
