Access Bank Denies Missing ₦500m in Customer’s Account

 

Access Bank has refuted allegations of the sum of ₦500 million missing from a customer’s account, describing the said claims as baseless and untrue.

In a statement posted on Sunday, the bank said through its social media handles that it was still committed to ethical practices and safety of customers’ funds. This came after social media influencer Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, accused the bank of misconduct over the account of a deceased customer.

The bank said: “The safety and security of our customers’ funds are core priorities that we take very seriously. Access Bank Plc does not engage in or condone unethical behavior. The claims of missing funds are entirely false.

Access Bank further clarified that proper internal and independent investigations had been carried out to confirm that no funds were missing from the customer’s account or any other accounts held with the bank.

The statement insisted that the institution remains committed to full compliance with privacy laws and to high ethical standards, while calling on the public to disregard unverified and sensational claims.

“We operate with the utmost integrity, prioritizing the protection of our customers’ interests,” the bank noted.
