Claims that N500 million is missing from a customer’s account have been refuted by Access Bank.
The bank insisted in a statement posted on social media on Sunday that it never participates in nor supports unethical behavior.
In a widely shared video, Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, a social media personality, accused the bank of shady tactics regarding a deceased customer’s account worth N500 million.
“Our attention has been drawn to a video on social media wherein allegations of missing funds and unethical behaviour have been made against Access Bank Plc,” the lender stated in the statement released on Sunday.
First and foremost, we want to stress how seriously we regard the safety and security of our customers’ money as a top priority. Second, no unethical behavior is involved with or tolerated by Access Bank Plc. The claims of missing money in the bank in this particular situation are completely false and unfounded.
“Neither the subject customer’s account nor any other customer’s account with us is missing N500 million or any other funds or amounts.
“These claims have been thoroughly examined by us and other impartial banking sector stakeholders, who have independently reached the same conclusions. Access Bank Plc upholds the highest moral standards in our business practices and safeguards the interests of our clients while adhering to privacy regulations.
Sensational and unsubstantiated statements should not be relied upon or believed, the bank advised the public.
