Good evening Nairalanders, I think it's high time the government regulates how the citizens data are unlawfully obtained without consent.
Last night I got a message from Parallax Bank Limited opening an account for me. The funny thing is that I have never heard about them before now. They also have access to my official email.
I think this is wrong and unprofessional. Government should take measures in ensuring that our data are safe and secured.

That's fraudster such institutions doesn't exist.you might be a victim to phishing or ethical hacking.

Are you sure? Word on the street indicates that Parallex Bank is owned by Christ Embassy.

After operating for ten years, Parallex Microfinance Bank applied for a Commercial Banking License and by November, received an Approval in Principle for conversion from a MicroFinance to a Commercial Bank. By January 2021, Parallex Microfinance Bank was granted a Commercial Banking Regional operating license to operate as Parallex Bank Limited.[3] As at the time of Parallex Bank's transitioning, it left behind 875 Microfinance Banks in Nigeria, out of which 9 have national licenses, 98 operate at state level, and 768 operate as Unit Microfinance Banks.[3] In 2021, Mr. Femi Bakre was appointed as managing director of Parallex Bank.[4]
