A friend of mine received some customers in his shop sometimes ago. d customers came 2 buy security doors. after receiving prices, they left. on a Friday evening the customers called my friend & placed orders 4 d quality &.quantities if doors they need. they asked my friend 2 tabulate d total sum including d transport fare that can convey d doors 2 Abuja from Kano. he did & txt d figure 2 them, a million, three hundred &.twenty thousand naira. they demanded that d doors be gathered & sent 2 Abuja on or b4 Sunday & my friend assured them. after a while on d same Friday evening, my friend saw an alert of d said amount, reflecting d previous balance he had in his UBA account. he began 2 arrange d doors negotiated wt a vehicle, when he arranging d doors, his colleagues were envying him, some were begging him 2 include them In d deal, he too was already thinking of how 2 celebrate d favor at d end. he loaded d doors, paid d driver & sent him off 2 Abuja, giving him d phone number of d recipient. on Monday morning, my friend majestically & in a kingly strides, arrived d banking hall 4 a withdrawal.

Just today one rap of #500 notes they gave me was short of #1500,and because I was in a hurry to have not counted it, they never listened to me. I just took the money and went straighth to another bank to transact business,it was counted there before me,to my alter amazement one rap was short of #1,500. UBA,UBA,UBA.

Hi NLs...in as much as i sympathize with the complainant, i will like to state that i really think you did not explore all the options available, as you may have done a counter-report (Rejoinder) after you got new facts from your friend at FBN. if FBN couldnt provide footage when UBA requested, how come your friend was able to show you the mandate of the customer? if they had tried to assist UBA further by supplying substantial information about the fraudster it would have been easier for UBA to pursue the case more logically. First Bank should be blamed for this failing really as the transfer was from UBA to FBN which means the fraudster is an FBN customer and with all the KYC enforcement, they should have done more to assist UBA in nailing the culprit. Another important point is that UBA ATM was not used for the transaction as can be deduced from your write-up, which means they will have to rely solely on FBN to get any logical information. I also think UBA's customer service has generally improved and they deserve some credit for the great leap they have made in recent times. I traveled abroad some months back and i got very useful support from their contact centre and on one occasion where i could have used my card on a high risk terminal..i got a notification from their ITRisk (i think thats their fraud monitoring team) team. My humble take on this, please. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Similar thing has happened to me when i had an account with Keystone Bank, My Atm card was used at a POS terminal to buy goods and i lost #250,000. I went to my bank branch office to complain and i was told they will investigate, For over 2 weeks, nothing happened. I was very angry, just to get a CCTV footage from the store became a problem, So i asked the bank branch manage to introduce me to someone at the head office since he said the case is been investigated at the head office. When he finally did, i went to the head office to met the guy, i got to find out that the shoping mall where they used the card has no cctv camera i was shocked, how can a bank issue their own POS machine to store that has no cctv it goes to show that Nigerian Bank don't even care about their customers financial security. To make matters worst, i just asked the guy, Please how possible is it that i will ever be reimbursed, He looked at me, Took me inside a room and showed be a pile of letters and complains written and submitted to them to investigate, The first 5 letter he gave me, I saw that i wasn't the only one, infact i was even lucky to have lost that little. He told me to plain language that in all sincerity, The Bank cant do anything. I left their in shock. Op, i tell u, don't put ur mind, I think Nigerian Bank are just criminal entity taking advantage of us. They know how this scheme works and am sure they are indirectly involve just to remain afloat. Little to nothing can be done to recover your money. Have learnt a few tips after my ordeal with them. Always change your ATM card pin number frequently, I change mine after every 2-3transaction maximum. Avoid being familiar with any bank staff you met at the Banking hall working with the bank you have an account. That way, They know little or nothing about your account. You cant trust any of them. Use very few ATM machine and avoid using POS terminals, That seems to be one of the easy way card pins are compromise. Since my ordeal, i have learnt to avoid those big name banks, that's where most criminals target. 1 Like |

anataala: I am so disappointed with CBN. I got their address from their website and sent them a mail twice. You know what? The mail was undelivered! A central bank in the year 2015!! If you are in anyway connected to the institution, tell them to wake up. How does somebody communicate with them? if information on their website is not reliable. |

Tell me why there won't be fraud in the banking sector when those employed are there to beat unemployment and not because they had dreams to be there, people who know nothing about the banking sector Tell me why there won't be fraud in the banking sector when those with passion for the job that studied the sector for good four years are not there working with passion for the job. |

I had to stop banking with UBA about 5 years ago. They had been deducting money illegally from my account before then.Sometimes, they deduct little amount(53 naira, 30 naira, 234 naira etc) that you wouldn't take cognizance of. One day, they deducted 2,000 naira at a go for no reason. That was the day I stopped banking with them. Ironically, since I stopped depositing money in that account, I still have about 980 naira from the 1,000 left in the account after 5 years. I had thought that nothing would be left in the account at the rate at which they were stealing ! |

Report this case to CBN bank customers complaint desk. Once it's certified it's a fraud in which you were not negligent, you're likely to get a refund. |

Bros, there's no right time to loose one's hard earned cash. It's commendable that you shared experience, for us to learn. From my experience with a US credit card and a review of your experience and other fellow NL's Standard banking practise for compromised card PIN fraud investigation is basically for identification of perpetrator(s). Subsequent report of same to the NPF (police), Efcc and the likes for criminal investigation remember these institutions are liable for disclosure to third party as we customers entrust our money to them. This law enforcement bodies are mandated to counter this agreement btw customer and bank without prejudice. No bank in the world will ignore request from law enforcement agency in view of crime investigation. What the bank can do is place a hold on the beneficiary's account with a court order pending when said funds are available. I was like this throwing tantrums and cursing until an uncle who is a legal financial adviser enlightened me as a I have attempted here. I advise you seek legal advise or directly report to EFCC or NPF. I am certain the banks will provide any form assistance when requested from theses agencies. I feel your pain bro. the banks in question are quite commendable. You are exposing your friend and the bank by stating his disclosure of the beneficiaries. That's not info for public perusal. Cheers. |

Ayoolanairaland: I have been banking with UBA for some time now, and i strongly believe your perception is way-off. Your card was compromised and when UBA reached out to FBN; FBN was unwilling to assist. You were however able to get footage through your friend in FBN - Yet you passed judgment that UBA failed. Who failed? Surely FBN messed up. I quite understand your loss, but i do believe your judgment is obscure and beclouded. If you have concerns with the Bank, I believe you should consult with the bank for investigation and prompt resolution. Check this out - If after moving your fund to another bank and a similar scenario plays out; will you keep moving funds from one-bank-to-another? I had a similar challenge, when i compromised my card and got defrauded while online. You will be shocked to know that besides getting my hard earned money back, the fraudster was apprehended - Kudos to the team @ UBA. I have accounts with two other banks; GT and Stanbic; but I have never had a challenge with UBA that was never resolved. Permit me to add that their customer care is also efficient. I have 3 accounts with them, including a Dom and U-Care account for my Son. At this point; I guess I can proudly declare to everyone that UBA is OKAY. 5 Likes |

l bank with Uba and I don't have any problem with them. l use their mobile money platform (Umobile) and it's perfect. Their customercare(phone) works 24/7. You can also contact them on facebook and get almost instantaneous response. Note:I am not doing PR for Uba. l once complained to them about charges and the explanation I got was that they charge 0.3% on all your debit withdrawals monthly as cot(Central bank approved for all banks) e.g. if your total debit withdrawals in a month is N10000, ur cot will be N30 plus Vat ( 5% of N30); so, for N1m debit withdrawals in a month cot will be N3000 +5% vat. All cbn approved and charged by every bank. 1 Like 1 Share |
