- Says, it and other investigating stakeholders in the industry have investigated the “baseless allegation”
Access Bank Plc has said the allegation of any missing funds at the bank is not only untrue but baseless, urging its customers to disregard the video going viral on the social media regarding the alleged missing funds and unethical behaviour against the bank.
A customer of the bank in a viral video, had alleged that the sum of N500 million kept in his account with the bank was missing, accusing that bank of unethical behaviour, even as he dragged the bank for the stolen money.
But Access Bank in a statement issued on Sunday, assured of the safety and security of customers’ funds which it described as “its core priority,” adding that Access Bank Plc does not engage in or condone any unethical behaviour.
According to the bank: “There is no N500million or any other fund or amount missing from the subject customer’s account or from any other customer’s account with us.
“We and other independent stakeholders in the banking industry have thoroughly investigated these allegations and independently arrived at the same conclusions.
“Access Bank PLC operates with the highest ethical standards, and we protect our customers’ interests whilst also respecting privacy laws.
“Consequently, whilst we have engaged and will continue to engage with our customers in our bid to serving them better, we must advise the public not to rely on or believe sensational and unverified claims that are designed to titillate and mislead the public.
