The other day when I went to deposit some money in one of the new generations banks I saw a man fretting and fuming over the way a certain bank robbed him;

He withdrew 5million Naira and came to the bank where I was to deposit it into another account, behold in a single bundle of #500 notes, 5 pieces was missing each.
Upon calling on the said bank, they told him that there was nothing they could do since he did not confirm it before leaving their counter. The dude had to update the remaining balance.

Fast forward today when I went to the same bank to withdraw N1.5 million to deposit in a client's account. Upon getting to the bulk room in the course of counting, we discovered that some of the monies weren't complete.

The disgusting thing is that on the wrappers around the monies was the instruction of confirming the cash before leaving their counters. But how a heck do they expect people to start counting bundle by bundle theirselves until they confirm big sums?

The funny thing is that such dubious things are not usually associated with small amounts.

What must one do to forestall this dirty acts from these banks?

I have had similar experiences.

The worse was when a lost 10k to a cashier at Diamond Bank Obigbo branch Rivers State.

It is very painful.

Unfortunately the 3 instances when I was paid incomplete cash involved male cashiers. I don't know if is common with male cashiers.

I have learnt to always confirm my cash particurlarly if the cashier is a male......before leaving the counter.

It is better to use the money transfer option in order to aviod this kind of stealing.

You very correct about the transfer thing but sometimes when the sales or payment are done directly and they accumulate overtime what can one do about that apart from direct cash deposit?

This is people's hard earned monies we talking about. How can they remove some notes from bundles of cash knowing that customers can't stay to count larger sums like a million Naira and above most especially when they are in lower denominations like #500 or #200 or even #100?

Once again lalasticlala and other mods lets keep on exposing these injustices... pls

Corruption everywhere

I had a similar experience with a female cashier o. I withdrew 78k and didn't bother to count cos I assumed it was complete. Upon making payment with the money, we discovered it was short of N600. The person I wanted to pay told me that's how some Bankers behave now. The bank was FCMB, I learnt my lesson that day.
