Access Bank Plc have come out to disclaim a video made by VeryDarkMan about its refusal to provide one Late Idongesit Edet Awah’s funds kept in their bank to the sister.
Igbo Tv had last week published a news content regarding a woman who had dragged Access Bank and accused the bank of unethical practice with allegations that they siphoned her late brother’s savings in the bank, and pretended the brother had no money in the account.
The details of the incidence were revealed by the popular media influencer and activist known as VeryDarkMan, with paper proofs.
The video had sparked a lot of reactions and distraught for customers of Access Bank which had begun a campaign of withdrawing monies from their Access Bank accounts.
Access Bank are thereby countering the claims made in the video, that the said ₦500 million is not missing.
The counter statement which was released on Sunday pointed out that the bank’s core priority is the safety and security of their customers’ funds, hence they do would not engage in unethical behavior or even condone same.
That the allegations in the video and baseless and hold no truth.
“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 statement reads.
“First and foremost, we wish to emphasize that the safety and security of our customers’ funds are core priorities that we take seriously. Second, Access Bank Plc does not engage in or condone any unethical behaviour. In the instant case, the allegations of missing funds in the bank are most untrue and baseless.”
The bank also claimed in the statement that no ₦500 million or other amount is missing from the customer’s account.
“There is no ₦500 million or any other fund or amount missing from the subject customer’s account or any other customer’s account with us,” it said.
Nigerians have reacted to this statement as published on the Access Bank twitter (X) handle.
One @papi_demillie reacted saying, “Post the SOA for those missing years. Let’s check something.
Yes it’s an allegation but you guys haven’t been straightforward on this particular case. From, he has no account with us, to he opened with zero naira. How does an account with zero naira yield interest 😂😂😂”
@papi_demillie continued, saying that he has never seen a Nigerian open account with zero Naira, asking if the banks would even allow that.
Below is the statement:
