@Sammor. It seems you are staff of GTB, am not dissapointed at your reaction because your Managing Director ( segun Agbaje) lacks respect for customers that is the reason you are calling your customer onigbe jati jati. I worked with GTBank before though is being long I left them. I will try and explain the process flow on cash deposit. Let assumed it was true that OP's account was credited with 102,000 instead of 10,200, the teller/cashier that received the money will not balance his till for that day, he/she will have a shortage of N91,800 ( 102,000- 10,200) hence, he put the operation manager on enquiry to look for the difference by calling over the transactions again and again until they were able to identify where the difference arose from which can either be wrong posting as the case above or outright over payment of cash to customers. If that is done, there is no way that the error will not be detected and the transaction will be reversed. Again, let us assumed that the error was not discovered that day and ops has withdrawn 60,000 from the money the teller will have no choice than to pay for the difference and be waiting for the day the customer will have enough cash in the account and reveresed the transaction. Now back to the case at hand, am sure that the Op's has a good fight if he can go through the proper channel. you can send a mail to thier system and control department, the department is in charge of audit and control. you can also call this numner " 08057101365, 08057008273,08057008200. It is CBN Help desk those guys will work on your complaint and am sure you will get a solution. You can also use the phone number for any ATM issues, i have used it twice and i got my money back sharp sharp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck |

nikkykay: pls get ursef a very good lawyer dat can fight ds case for u. if doesn't happen to you, then you will not have a feeling of the experience. First, most of us have ran into conclusion but we forgot the other party has a right to state his own side of the story. I bank with GTB and I think they may not be 100% perfect,but let's try UBA now. From the story, some transaction error was made out of no fault of OPs but the bank reserves the right to reverse same transaction just like it would reverse an ATM transaction that is not paid but debited. the story says OPs withdrew over 60,000 give rise to the 49,000 overdraft(loan). then account was closed by the Ops in the time this happened leaving an overdraft of 49k for like 5 years and then resume transaction thereafter. in as much as sympathize with the OPs with the ordeal he is passing thru, i refuse to believe everything stated above knowing that an institution like GTB will shoot itself in leg knowing how much compensation it will pay for this silly act if it is sued to the court. I advice you take to dialogue for solution, it might also be mistake on the part of the bank or you feed a lawyer to battle your case. |
Re: GTB Freezes My Account For False Loan by Boss13: 4:46pm On Apr 04, 2013 |
As a banker, though not a GTBank employee, I find this story unbelievable. I want to decipher the story. The OP claims to have worked in a bank. These days there is Internet banking with transaction history where you can trace all your previous transactions without you walking into the bank and requesting for a bank statement. The nomenclature the OP uses makes me wonder if he worked in a bank. No bank freezes an account except with directive from prosecuting authorities. To freeze an account is to block all debits and credit entries. I think what was done was that a post no debit entry was placed on the account. The account has been termed to be fraudulent. Also, as a previous banker you should have seen the red flag when they tell you that a loan was advance to you via your savings account. Which bank advances loans to savings account? Oga if an erroneous credit was passed into your account and you have withdrawn it. You will have to pay for it. However, it is extremely sad that you were not informed about this. That is the reason why you should check your transaction history more often via Internet banking and you can still do this yourself. Also, which bank links a domicillairy account to a savings account? Please pardon me, my knowledge of the banking industry is making me not believe your story a bit not that I don't believe. You do not need to go to court because the cost will outweigh the benefit. Visit their investigation unit and inform them about your issue, that is if your story is true. However, you should have done your own investigation. If you cannot get your transaction history for the aforementioned dates. Visit the closest branch to you and request for it. They will print it. Do your reconciliation, then visit the investigation unit and have a meeting with them (you must have done a formal letter first like 2 weeks before the meeting). I believe a conclusion would be reached during the meeting. If your problem isn't resolved properly, write a letter to the managing director. Express the pains you have been subjected to as a result of you not been able to operate your account. Also, I have heard of some funny fraudulent stories been perpetrated in GTBank. Well, it is the same with all Nigerian banks. Please do not leave your account dormant. In the case you have no need to operate an account, move all funds to the bank of your choice. Dormant account are targeted by fraudsters because they believe the owner do not need the funds anymore or the owner might be dead. Always check your transaction history, all banks in this country offer this services free of charge. The moment you see a debit entry you are not comfortable with, call your account officer for explanation. Also do the same for credit entries else you would be facing the same problems with the poster. An internal staff might have done that deliberately so that he/she can withdraw the fund later. Please don't eat monies that doesn't belong to you. 4 Likes |

What if the deposit and the withdrawal are actually fraud from an in-house teller. Or have u analyse the deposit and withdrawal documents for the transactions.

Op, If it were me, I will first get a good lawyer. Then I will help GTB make a free advert by taking this story to virtually all the social networks that I visit. The world is global village now, and am very sure that the Free Publicity I will give them will get the notice of someone at the top, who will see to the Resolution of this Gbese (for lack of a better word). |

@ OP Have you been to the branch personally to talk to a more senior person instead of this telephone voice bearing modupe. Except you are avoiding the branch for a reason. |
Re: GTB Freezes My Account For False Loan by GoodDon: 5:08pm On Apr 04, 2013 |
The OP is being economical with the truth here.Simply put,the guys account was wrongly credited,but before the reversal was done,the guy had withdrawn 60k from the account.Probably,the bank called him to refund the money,and the guy decides to run to another bank leaving his account to go dormant.After some time,he thought the bank has forgotten about the issue,and decides to reactivate the account. I know mistakes happen,but GTBank I know will not restrict your account if they dont have sufficient reason to do so.You are asking for the source document used to credit your account.Really? Since 2007? You think it is that easy to retrive such documents? Your best option here is for you to request for your statement of account.There,you will see clearly what transpired.You claim you dont trust the banks statement of account because it can be doctored.How is that possible?The bank will doctor your accounts statement just because of such small amount? OP please search yourself very well,listen to your conscience and do the right thing! |

@ OP Have you been to the branch personally to talk to a more senior person instead of this telephone voice bearing modupe. Except you are avoiding the branch for a reason. we are all jumping to the conclusion of contacting a lawyer, cbn etc. even a lawyer will look at the merit of the claim before jumping at it. the OP wants to tell me that in 5years, it never occurred to him for once to contact a lawyer on this matter. I just have a feeling, there is more to this story. |

Re: GTB Freezes My Account For False Loan by andyanders: 5:22pm On Apr 04, 2013 |
Having gone through your post and your explanation,I would want you to note that you did not follow the case up aggressively when you were first told of this invisible loan. When you were first notified and they said it was a loan, why did you not ask the said lady the documents showing that you took loan? Someone cannot tell you that you took loan and you did not follow the case up and later stopped using the GTB account for sometime and later started again without resolving the issue before re-activating the said accounts you have or had with them. You are a banker and should know the steps to have taken to resolve this issue then,and they, the GTB officials, were still pointing accusing fingers accusing you directly in your presence that you stole their money and you never took drastic measure or even gone to get a lawyer to attack the bank and take them to court,knowing fully well that banks don't like going to the press or court. In fact, as a banker, I feel you knew what transpired as regards to the said N102K and the 10,200 instead. When you were first confronted by GTB bank, knowing fully well that you never took any loan from them and they pointed an accusing finger onto you in your presence telling you that you should own up and pay and you took it kindly then goes to show you actually utilized the said erroneous credit made to your account in which you were supposed to have reported back. My wife went to her bank one day ,to find out her account balance, she was told that she had about 1,260,889.00 balance in her account. She knew she had only N268,889.00 as credit balance in her account and how N1,000,000 got into her account, she never knew. She informed the cashier that she does not have such in her account and from her records, she had only 260,889 and that the money should be reversed. I think there is a mix up in your case because someone told you, that you took a loan and you never asked her to produce the so called documents to back up her claim. Other officers in the bank, directly accused you too, you never took drastic measure to take them to court and you later stopped using the accounts with them and later started after some years, still they kept accusing you, after a long time, they later opened up that it was an amount wrongly credited to your account of which you made use of the said funds, to me it makes no sense. I will go to court if I am sure that I have been wrongly accused. You allowed them to act the way they did cus you saw the said 102k, credited to your account and you took the money then thinking it was an awufu money. |

I can boldly say its a lost case,modupe mit have been rude mayb cos u refused to listen to her explaination but anyway I don't know her person but as a gentle person I've lost my cool becos most times customers neva want to listen as if they know d job better dan u.and if there is a guff on a staff's part they try to cover it up as much as possible,and for modupe to b dat bold I tink she has a gud evidence on dat transaction.

Calling you thief is uncalled for. |
