what does it mean swap/recycle checks?

GavelSlam:
Because you don't have money lodged in any.

OK.

Hmmm.....very nice...letting the public know how much of their money was withdrawn from the bank through fraud. ..(but the bank is still making record profits).... and letting us know how much is projected to be taken in 2020... that it is on us ...not the bank...to take measures to secure our savings. Next level of arrogance.

Wow

Shonubi said gender fraud analysis during the period showed males accounted for 73 per cent, while females accounted for 23 per cent.

This is nonsense. All our banks are NOT serious about dealing with fraud. Each time a customer reports a case of fraud to them, they either ignore it or drag their feet, or give irrational excuses about how their hands are tied. Such a customer has to threaten fire & brimstone in addition to involving police and lawyers, before anything is done. Even after this, it can take several months to resolve the issue.

If money is transferred from a customer's account to another account, the banks have the info on where such funds have gone. Why can't they work together with the receiving bank, to place an immediate hold on that recipient's account that received the fraudulent funds? Why can't they use the fraudster's BVN to fish him out? Many of their staff are complicit in these cases, which is why they like keeping quiet and sweeping things under the carpet. If fraud cases are quickly and promptly tackled, the frequency would drop!

They should develop a technological platform, that would allow people to type in bank account details that have received funds fraudulently. Once this is done, such accounts would be frozen until the owner shows up.
