Shakara upon shakara. Arise TV spread a fake news that Access bank placed snipers on the roof of their headquarters, one of the reason that led to the destruction of some of their banks, their fake news made NBC to sanction Arise TV.
The Federal government freeze those enemies of the country accounts, let them approach the same court to unfreeze their accounts by explaining how foreign currencies keep entering their accounts from overseas. Emotions and blackmails cannot help them. Useless hoodlums, I wonder how many banks dem wan boycott.

How can you boycott a bank that has your money? They may refuse to let you withdraw your money whether physically or electronically. What can you do? Once you deposit your money in a bank, you live on the hope that they will be honourable to return the money on demand. What if they tell you that they have no cash available to give you and deactivate their customers' ATM cards and go offline?

Other Banks that froze their customer's accounts on the order of CBN are yet to communicate., but ACCESS Bank found it worthy to communicate to their customers and we're still dragging them. I wonder what we'd do to others like GTBank, Zenith Bank, UBA Fidelity Bank etc.

It wasn't beyond any power. They call you to freeze account cos they government not because the law says so. It took somebody that knows their rights to tell them to do the right thing even if government want to freeze account by getting a court order.

Maybe you don't know but Stanbic Bank just proved to be a more reliable banker than access. For any access account holder, you are not safe, your money is not safe. Your info is not safe. Nothing is safe with them cos they can trade you for the right price.

For that, I will be visiting a stanbic very soon. Na bank wey fit demand the right thing we go support.

You frozen the accounts even before a court order was given Typical Nigerian mentality

Which court order are you waiting for before an account can be frozen or restricted.

Once suspicious transactions is notice in your account, your account will be restricted immediately.

For instance , the maximum amount you have in your account base on the nature of your business is 100k or less over the last six months then suddenly you received an inflow of N10,000,000 million . the bank would surely place restriction on that account for investigation purpose due to money Landry and terrorism finance currently happening all over the world.

The instance you have painted here is really different. What is expected is to make it part of routine report to CBN; and if flagged, you as banker will engage you customer. NOT TO FREEZE THE ACCOUNT ON SUSPICION THAT IT IS AN ILLICIT FLOW.

They want to Target access bank again,whereas the damages caused in the recent paroteSt has not been repaired.

See ehn,unless we start appreciating what we have,we will never value and fully understand what we don't have when we eventually get it.

The management of Access Bank Plc has pleaded with their customers for understanding following an online campaign calling for boycott, Igbere TV reports.

The bank accounts of at least eight persons involved in the #EndSARS campaign were frozen based on the orders of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The accounts were frozen about two weeks before CBN obtained a court order to do so, Igbere TV learnt.

Proponents of the call for boycott say the bank should have been more thorough like Stanbic IBTC whose founder Atedo Peterside openly refused to freeze the account of any person without a valid court order.

However, in a statement on Friday, Access Bank said it symphatised with the affected persons, adding it was looking forward to unfreezing the accounts.



https://twitter.com/myaccessbank/status/1327189369200009217?s=19

Atedo is a man I so much respect but the information credited to him in the article is wrong. Atedo is no longer the chairman and no longer have controling share in Stanbic IBTC and such does not have any say in the Bank operation.

The Stanbic IBTC I know very well will be the very first to place PND or freeze account of people affected.

Why would be bank agree to such lawlessness in the first place? Serves them right. I have removed my money from Access bank. I intend to move all funds to crypto and entirely boycott banks for warehousing funds. When I need cash I would just do a quick exchange to any bank and withdraw cash via ATM.

For those asking about volatility, you can save your money in Stable coin like USDT that is paired 1 to 1 with US Dollar.

Crypto is the way to go brah.. total freedom feom stupid politics n policies especially in a lawless nation like ours that is run like family business. Who wise now dey learn direction to go

You can't go against the policy of your regulators just to please your customers. You are setting yourself up for failure, sanctions and possible shutdown.

In 2004 when Soludo announced 25b recapitalization despite all the long article Atedo wrote on one of the Newspapers against it he still went to merge with Chartered Bank to meet up with the 25b recapitalization

Once the customer approach his or her bank that there is a restriction on his account the bank would surely tell him the reason why his account is freeze or restricted an investigation is been carry out on the unusual inflows that came in into his account. The bank will tell him to exercise patience with them till the conclusion of their investigation within a time frame.
