I see the difficulty here - well the truth is such transactions will appear suspicious because round-tripping is a typical money laundering operation. The one thing she should have no fear of is whether the Uni will hold her money. They will surely refund it though they may start to charge for the inconvenience. 3 Likes |

I was thinking the same thing...you open a new account with Polaris to receive a refund. Why would Polaris honor that? If the money is withdrawn, Polaris can be in the hook if its an illegal transfer. The school can issue her a check to cash that will be processed by any bank after x amount of time. She should provide a legit address for the check lol ThatCEO: 2 Likes |

Well, it's a sad case, but it is part of the anti money laundering policies in place, if she can try to print out statement to show evidence from the naira account to the GT dorm account and probably get a lawyer. If she doesn't mind paying for the services of one. She should get the funds back Dyt: |

My sister abi na brother, Polaris is ABSOLUTELY right. The school should not have refunded to a different account. Solution, get the original account holder to reactivate the paying bank account. Otherwise, your money has entered money laundry censure account. 5 Likes |

Ucheamani: youre right but theres exception to that law. The initial beneficiary is allowed to refund to a new account after verifying originating account isnt accessible anymore and also verifying ownership and identity of the claimant i.e owner of the originating account which is no more active/accessible must give the beneficiary the go ahead to refund to the new account provided by the claimant. Even NHS has done this for people who paid their ihs using third party accounts and the accounts are no more active after a year when they want to claim ihs refund having worked in the healthcare sector for over 6 months. 1 Like |

Cmanforall:If you are in the system you will know what's going on here. She's trying to be clever by half and trying to blackmail the bank into submission. She probably got the pounds when the rate was around 500/$ and today the rate is above 1000/$. She knows if they return the money to the account she used to remit it they will convert it at the old rate to dollar as per CBN policy, but if she diverts the funds into a pounds account she will receive pounds without conversion and sell it at the rate now which is above 1000/$. The bank will not want to incur CBN wrath by allowing that to happen because they might be fined if the source of the fund is traced and it's found to be roundtripping. Many people were using this method to cash out when CBN was still selling dolllars to students through the banks. 3 Likes |

Exactly! until u start working in d bank to know how these fraudsters do things, you won't get it. I am a banker well trained in anti money laundering & counter financial terrorism. Let me not talk too much. Why was the account closed without her consent? quote author=happney65 post=127235064] Exactly. The school has even been magnanimous enough to send to a Polaris account and not the GTB it came from. But why was the GTB account closed and it cant receive money again? Maybe it should be reopened and the money sent to the original account it left from instead of all these back and forth [/quote] |

Dyt:nonsense. Imagine the half baked reason Polaris bank is giving. So because she didn't send the money from the account, they want to refund it. I'll advise she go to the bank where she opened the account and lodge a formal complain. |

Nigerians and their victims mentality. So, she expected Roehampton university to pay the refund into any account provided to them even though the account was NOT the account from which they earlier received the inflow? For them to even finally agreed to pay the refund into a newly opened domiciliary account showed their consideration for her plight. Ordinarily, they were not supposed to pay the refund into any account that was not the originating account in the first instance. These institutions abroad have regards and respect for fine prints. They don't act the way we act here without control and due diligence. They have taken their time to go through her refund request and noticed lots of inconsistencies and abnormalities. Polaris bank was also right in returning the fund. The reason for the inflow into the new dom account may have been narrated as "refund ". However, polaris bank did not see any outflow from the new dom account to warrant receipt of any "refund" inflow into it. This is purely how banks and financial systems works in many occasions. Refund has to go into the originating account that paid out the money, initially. We should not allow sentiments to mask our ignorance on certain issues. She is lucky that she was dealing with a UK institution. An American institution will not even entertain correspondences with her if she fails to provide the original account that paid out the school fees, coupled with the fact that the request is coming from a Nigerian subject, who are viewed from a fraudulent perspective, usually. 2 Likes |
