Get a good SAN and tell him your complaint if you can make a good case against GTB. If yes, then you can slam GTBank with court order and make demands of Millions of Naira for identity theft. Wish u Godspeed 2 Likes |

civilserva:My first thought. It looks more like that rather than GT opening an account. He had better go and report and stop blaming GT bank. 2 Likes |

Op you aren't alone. My elder brother called me last week if I opened account with GTB using his phone number . I said no, I was like scammers are about to trick him.. he said he got a text message twice indicating I have an account with GTB. All my life, I have only visited GTB twice, of which I have no business with them .. our data is not secured in this country. It's time we buckle up 1 Like |

Wouldn't you rather bank with us? They are actually spooling it from a BVN database. Every customer who is enrolled on BVN (via some other bank) but isn't a GT customer is automatically eligible. It isn't fraudsters. It isn't a security breach. At least we can see how powerful the whole BVN thing is. I like to think they weighed its (possible) legal implications, considering that the management is very aware. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I'm a GTB customer and the incompetence of that bank is criminal. Do not even use that account, even if it's a genuine account, because they'll frustrate you to your last breath. I'll soon reactivate my first bank account so i can finally dump my account and my money they have refused to reverse, albeit not substantial, with them. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Two possible reasons; 1. Marketing gimmicks (same way MTN & Airtel send you unsolicited ads to subscribe or recharge data). 2. The work of some overzealous GTBank marketers who are in dire need of meeting some ridiculous targets 11 Likes 1 Share |

Though this is a breach of privacy, however kindly take note of the following; Any account opened without BVN linked to it remains restricted which means a debit transaction cannot occur on the account. This is a CBN policy guiding all Banks. Nearly 99% of all accounts opened via these Banks short code cannot be operational until a mandate(picture and signature) of you is uploaded on the account. Therefore, you dont need to bother yourself about it as long as your BVN is not linked to it. Regards. 16 Likes 1 Share |

DBlackCeazer: Every bank in Ng is annoying. Recently, first bank has been debiting my transaction without reversing on the. Some I was debited since July 31st, three transactions are yet to be reversed even after calls and emails. Just this morning I woke up to meet a negative balance of over 5k clearing my own fund in the acct. I know that I'm not hacked. Because no transaction history of such in my app when I checked. Funnily I have called them with over #200 airtime and yet to pick my calls. Now you see that they are the same. 4 Likes |

Same thing happened to me. I thought it was scammers initially until I decided to do a transfer to the account and see what name comes up. Lo and behold, it was actually my name that reflected against that account number. I'm glad I'm not alone in this. |
