I do not see any sense in what u wrote here.
Why should anyone be sacked for a customers stupidity. You sent money to a wrong beneficiary when the machine would have given a name to confirm

The delay, The unethical response, Demanding the statement of account of an individual in another bank to trace transaction details, Y are U acting like a stranger naa? A stranger to 9ja's banking system.

This story is just to tell how empty some customers of the bank could be.
You sent money through a platform, the platform would have validate the account name to you before you confirm the payment, you paid into a wrong account yet you want the bank to be blamed for it.
This does not make sense to me. We are quick to blame but in actual sense the fault is of the customer.
Be open, you mistaken a number in the account number you submitted

Next time take your time to confirm necessary payment before you submit your payment.

See earlier thread on this https://www.nairaland.com/3144171/lady-calls-out-fidelity-bank

Isn't it sad that until you expose them to the public, some organisations do not take customer service serious? Faith Alimi, the lady who contacted us earlier about her ordeal in the hands of Fidelity bank has reached out to us again saying that the bank has called her to resolve the issue.

So what happens to those aggrieved customers who donot even have a platform to air their grievances?

According to Faith just told us, the bank told her she sent the money to the account CHIGBO AMAKA JACINTHA----200444***, instead of her Intended beneficiary: Omezie Rose- 2049434714 both in UBA.

Read Faith's submission below..[b] “When Fidelity bank initially checked my statement of account, it indicated that the money i transferred had been debited, but they could not show me the recipient after i complained to them that the person i transfered to didnot receive the money. I sent an email to trueserve on the 10th of Feb. 2016, after I have tried to rectify the transaction since December 2015 with the nearest branch to me. I received a successful transfer alert from the bank but the recipient name did not appear in the sms, the recipient claimed that she didn't receive any alert. I was asked to send the person's statement of account of which I did. I had to send them the an additional accounts as they requested; all I wanted to know is who received the money cos they both claimed that they did not receive any money.
Since February, I just received a phone call to confirm the person that received the money. I've spoken with my account officer time without number, I even sent sms to trueserve but I was ignored. One of the customer service agent's called me in March to inform me that it was the initial person I sent the money to that received the cash not the other person, today now I was told that it has been confirmed that is the other person. I have all mails with me to verify my claims. After such a along time, I had to conclude that Fidelity bank was owing me, especially after sending them those people's account statement and they still couldn't confirm to me which of them received the money. It was after your news went viral this afternoon that they just investigated to confirm who received the cash, and apologized. The alleged recipient, Chigbo Amaka Jacintha just told me this afternoon that she did not receive any alert to that effect and would have to go to UBA on Monday to find out if such money actually entered her account.”[/b]


Below is Fidelity bank's response apologising to Faith after all this months; It took them about 6 good months to resolve such a minor issue? *sigh*

This is only customers are always right, in true sense we are not always right.

The issue I have with the bank here is that it shouldn't have taken forever to respond to the customer. It shouldn't have been until social media is involved

Next time take your time to confirm necessary payment before you submit your payment.

So she made a wrong transaction and was seeking for cheap attention and tarnishing the bank's brand? They should sue her ass for defamation. undecided

If you're so much convinced they didn't err, then y did dey apologize?

Also having similar issue with skyebank, I did the transfer like 3weeks ago and the recipient didnt receive the money. These banks are just kinda annoying tbs
Re: 6 Months After! Fidelity Bank Apologizes To Lady After Calling Them Out Today by Wallade(m): 12:03am On Jun 04, 2016
The context of the response from Fidelity Bank Plc was not an apology, I think it was rather sarcastic and if my speculation is correct, then Fidelity Bank Plc response is unprofessional.

Anyway, that is my opinion.

To rectify issues is a problem to them but to go about cajoling people to open account and bank with them is not.

why is everyone blaming the lady? why didnt fidelity track the transaction when she made the complaint. They had to wait until after 6months. when the beneficiary whould have even forgotten the money received. Fidelity is at fault here.. They should either help her retrieve the money or refund her money back...

Similar case happened to me last year but it was rectified instantly before posting because as they imput the prticulars it just doesn't match and while stillon the line, the banker respectfully calledmy attentionto the error and I corrected them. If you ask me what happened in this case, I suspect the banker on desk the day she tried to make the transaction. I guess, he/she would have noticed it but chooses to make fast fingers with it for personal disposition and until serious security involvement, I fear that the bank will cover-up their staffs afterall, they all have their own means and stillof getting something aside salary.

It is when companies are reported on social media that they do the right thing. The bank knew all along that the money was credited to a wrong account yet they wasted her time. How they even got both accounts mixed up is beyond me. Whoever got the money never reported it, most likely s/he would have spent it. The bank should be the one to refund the money since the mistake came from them.

Like DzTzl and other posters rightly stated, it is a virtual interbank transfer; the error is from the customer. She should have verified the beneficiary's details before consummating the transaction.

Where the bank went wrong is the delay in feedback. She would have to slug it out with the unintended beneficiary to retrieve her money.
