Customer Drags UBA To Court After Account With Money Disappears by dipoolowoo: 10:45pm On Nov 24, 2016 |
By Dipo Olowookere United Bank for Africa (UBA) has incurred the wrath of one of its customers over the disappearance of his Children’s Trust Fund accounts he opened with the bank about 30 years ago and since the bank has failed to listen to him or explain what truly happened, he has taken the financial insitution to court to seek redress. The affected customer, Mr Ade Olusanjo, wants the court to give an order to compel UBA to reactivate and credit the affected accounts with N705,096.24 each being the capital and interest accruing to the account as computed by a firm of chartered accountants. Mr Olusanjo also wants the bank to order the payment of N1 million as general and special damages for breach of contract. In a suit filed before the Ogba Magistrate’s court through his lawyer, Barrister Peter Ehijinwa, Mr Olusanjo said he opened the accounts for his three under-aged children for their education trust fund and opened another account for his wife with the bank in 1986. He explained that the account was opened as future saving for the education of his children and was paying N1000 each annually. According to him, he deposited into the account between 1986 till 1995 before he relocated to United Kingdom where they reside till now, noting that he did not make any withdrawal from the accounts since then. In the claimant’s particulars before the court, it stated that before the claimant relocated to England, an average of N10,000 each was in the account and N8,000 was in his wife’s account. The customer said the accounts had remained dormant and could not be operated because UBA was unable to trace the records despite repeated demand from him. But responding, the bank, through its counsel, Barrister Sophia Abiri-Franklin, stated the banks usually maintain dormant account pool meant for accounts that have gone dormant for a period of time. She stated that banking regulations stipulate that for security reasons and to prevent fraud, balances in dormant account may be closed and transferred to a general pool account. The regulations stated, “On request by account holder, such monies accruing to the account could be transferred to the account after the necessary security check.” www.businesspost.ng/2016/11/24/customer-drags-uba-court-account-money-disappears/ 2 Shares

emeijeh:So he should not collect damages as a result of a breach of contract from the bank because of recession? Are you kidding? In my opinion that amount is even too small for that type of bank. These financial institutions steal people's money under the pretense of helping them save it. When you come for complain they give you useless excuses that can't even hold air. He should sue the bastards!! 9 Likes 1 Share |

This is just one case out of of thousands of similar cases and it's not just limited to UBA, other banks do same. Once your account stays dormant for a couple of years, someone in the bank takes a closer look at it and within a twinkle of an eye the money disappears...my question is what exactly is the government or CBN doing about this? do they have records of dormant accounts over a period of time that can be traceable and accounted for anytime such reports are needed?...or they just allow banks to eat peoples money and send them their own percentage. 4 Likes 1 Share |
