Access Bank warns customers to beware of e-fraudsters
Access Bank has once again urged customers to remain vigilant and beware of the common tricks used by fraudsters to rob them of their money.
The Executive Director of Retail Banking, Access Bank Plc, Victor Etuokwu, expressed concern about the growing number of fraud cases being reported. He implored customers to take more responsibility in safeguarding their funds and offered reassurance of the Bank’s commitment to providing information relevant to identifying and fending off fraudsters.
“Over the last few months, the number of reported fraud cases has spiked considerably. This is not unexpected as the current economic hardships experienced due to COVID-19 has caused many to be vulnerable. However, this trend has become very disturbing, while we urge customers to become more aware of the tactics employed by fraudsters. Access Bank will continue to educate customers on how to avoid falling victims as well as deploy resources to ensure the security of customers funds.
Through the years, Access Bank has remained committed to educating its customers, informing and protecting them from fraudsters. The Bank has created dedicated pages on its official website that constantly educate customers on the schemes and tricks employed by fraudsters. Responding to queries made by customers saying fraudsters approached them disguising as the bank’s staff, Etuokwu added: “Customers should be on alert as the bank will never ask for personal information, such PIN, BVN, 16-digit card number, CVV, password, OTP or authentication code for the mobile banking app. We urge our customers to ignore, such calls, text messages or emails.”
