Banks have changed. Is there any bank that doesn't suck?

Bank of Opay does not suck.

GistMedia0:
Pandemonium broke out at an Access Bank branch when an enraged customer stormed the banking hall and vandalized several properties, claiming the bank had debited him N1.2 million multiple times without resolving his complaint.

According to eyewitnesses, the man walked into the bank around midday, visibly agitated. Moments later, chaos erupted as he began smashing furniture, scattering equipment, and shouting at staff. Customers and bank workers scampered for safety as the man went on a rampage, accusing the bank of ignoring his repeated complaints.

"He said the bank debited him N1.2 million, not once, and that he had visited the branch several times to report the issue but was always dismissed or told to come back later," a witness recounted.

The branch manager and staff quickly evacuated the banking hall while security personnel attempted to calm the situation. Videos of the incident have since gone viral on social media, drawing mixed reactions from the public.

Shey we go dey keep money for shrine now?

RISQUE:
What if that money was for medical bills of someone close to him and the person eventually died because the debited amount wasn't reversed?

You guys reason like cows sometimes.

You don’t insult people when you are wrong.
Every country is governed by a rule of law which every citizen must abide by.. and when anyone fails to abide by it, it comes back to haunt them

You need tp experience it so that you will know how it pains. The way this banks steal from customers through unauthorised debits is alarming this days. When you see them declare outrageous profits up and down, you don't know it's money they have been stealing from customers. They need this kind of craze from customers so that their eyes will clear and refrain from stealing people's money.

dawnomike:
As annoying as this is, he needed not to have resorted to this as the bank can sue him.
He should just have sued the stupid bankd and give them a good publicity through FIJ news.

Pat081:
craze you say he go understand hard way soon that money may not be up to what he is doing when the bank start with him

What about if probes were to be carried out and the bank is found guilty of fraud you think CBN will just clap for them?

Wizardslayer:
Access bank are becoming something else, the manner they deduct from people's money in name of electronic money transfer levy is very alarming.

I need an alternative bank honestly.

Try Wema Bank...

This one dey go jail o.
Damaging bank property, physical assault, threat to public peace, battery, vandalism na wetin police go put for charge sheet be that. At least, 2 must stick from the video evidence.
To fight for your right still involves applying sense n wisdom.
That 1.2million when reversed won't save him when the law descends on him.

Na this law dey spoil things for Nigeria...law is only for poor mass...the guy complained severely they ignored him...since dey want ti hear...dey will hear it by violent...useless bank

Brandosky:
He also has right to charge them for damages and liability caused by inability to access his funds. He could argue he missed several business opportunities simply because he couldn't access his funds that was stolen by the bank

He could also charge the bank for causing him trauma.
He could claim he was traumatized by his inability to access his money so much so that he temporarily lost control of his actions and acted violently.
He has a lot to claim really.

Myrepublic:
Sometimes these institutions need this kind craze people. They will just be debiting someone anyhow. Very anyhow set of vampires

.. maybe it can be a fraudster or a scammer that hacked his account and be debiting his account

Access Bank is a NO, NO Bank for me. They are always deducting under one guise or the other.

lucianohase:
Just pray u will never be in his shoes! Imagine, experiencing multiple time deduction of such amount of money without any reasonable explanation under this harsh economy ?

I will do no such thing in his shoe, there are better ways to handle such cases. Your anger should never get the better part of you.

prigoz:
It is not in Nigeria, his action for me suits situation on the ground ( contingency approach)

Such an act will only make things worst for him.

Pls can someone help me on how to recover my money in one of this banks too. My money the said they place on pnd was stolen. Since last year. I have been going and calling them. The claim they have not recover all.

Now na him go start to dey beg. Yawa don gas

That's why I don't save with commercial banks , they are very annoying infact they can keep you stranded for weeks over your money oo but Fintech banks like opay , palmpay kuda will never do this in case of failed transfer your money will return but Nigerian banks if you transfer fails just know you are in trouble , you can't blame the guy imagine getting debited 1.2 million multiple times it's crazy though and I blame rude bank customer care for this, had it been they offered solution to the customer he won't have started destroying bank property

He must have a lot of money in his account to sustain multiple debits of N1.2m.

Another proof that our regulatory bodies like CBN and FCCPC are failing in their duties.

When you employ people based on political affiliations to man critical regulatory bodies this is what happens.

The bank know that nothing will happen to them so they debit anyhow. A business that thrives on customers ignorance and powerlessness is evil.

omoredia:
Only violent people are taken seriously in this country. Case in point abgero, boko haram and fulani terrorists

including Ipob terrorist….locking their parents up every Monday in Sad east

But why are Nigeria Banks doing this seriously institutional fraud?

Not long ago VDM released his frustration and so many Nigeria facing these fraud from Banks I thnksey it is time CBN has to be punishing any bank involving in all these nonsense for them to sit up.

CBN is just useless.

Myrepublic:

Try Sterling bank, one of the best.

Pat081:

Did you read that he had visited the bank several times and they kept telling him to come come?
What right has the Bank to frustrate him.


"Na something happen before something happen"

Mathewrichard99:
Exactly my thoughts. Definitely his 1.2 million will be reversed but those things he destroyed will be counted as damages and he would certainly need to pay for everything that he damaged which would be higher than that 1.2Million.....

that's what anger does.

If he has evidences of the debited millions , then he can burn down the building- nonsense

Though I don't subscribe to violent approach to resolving issues like this but if you have ever been in a bank when victims like this come to complain, you will understand this man better. Some years ago, I was working as an IT staff in a bank and one lady came to complain, she was being tossed from desk A to B then to C, all of which had no meaningful solutions to her problem. At some desk she had to stand for several-minute and eventually she would get same questions like, are you sure you didn't give your card to someone, are you sure you have the card with you all the while, when was the last time you used it by yourself, do you leave alone? etc, at the end of the day, nothing tangible came up as solution to the missing money, at a point she was being practically avoided by everyone like she had leprosy, she stayed in the hall from around 1 pm till about 7 pm, those days banks were still closing very late. The woman would cry and rest when she was tired and then resume her cry again.
I was even hoping someone would call her and give her something like 2k or so just to assist but nothing of such, my big big ogas were all going there normal businesses, that was when I know that in this life, just pray you don't have problems that are beyond you, cos when you do, you are practically on your own.
I don't know if to say I was small and naive not to understand why they were not feeling for the woman the way I was or they had seen many of such situations, so much that they were no longer moved by such or so.
At a point the lady was asked to go outside as it was getting late and no longer safe to have a non staff within the banking hall. At that point the little man inside me that was already crying with the lady could not help it again, I had to stylishly went outside to squeeze small amount of money into her hand, at least make she see something to eat and get back home that night.

Was just shaking my head when I was watching the video.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse

They've always sucked and don't think it's only in Nigeria. The banking system is mankind's biggest racket.

standard chartered and stanbic ibtc. these foreign banks have good customer relationship.

Who still banks with Naija bank? I don't leave my funds in any Naija bank again. I only send to it when I need to do something urgent. I no one hear story that touch. My money is safe in my crypto cold wallet.

He might end to spending more to fix the damages

Love800:
Stanbic is okay?

Yep
During the cashless policy of Emefiele, they stood strong for their customers, giving out cash both inside the banking hall and at their ATMs
