Confusion! As GTBank Customers Decries Unauthorized Transactions and Deductions in their Accounts

The crisis facing the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), seems not to be abating. The bank that pride itself as one of the best in the country has been facing issues since it upgraded a couple of days ago. It initially kept the customers in the dark when the app is not opening after the bank had announced a successful upgrade thereby not giving them access to transact both banking and non-banking operations on their accounts.

As if that is not enough, the customers of the bank have also come to the social media to express their confusion and anger after they eventually gain access (though still not able to perform any successful transaction) to their accounts only to discover that there have been so many unauthorized transaction in their accounts. Whereas some are confused about the deposit and subsequent remover of monies into their supposed personal accounts, the complain of some is that there are unauthorized deductions carried out and still being carried out while their complains to the bank through digital and physical means are being treated with kid gloves.

It would be recalled that social media had recently reported that the website of the bank was hacked, though this was refuted by the bank at that time but the recent happening is questioning whether the bank is still in control of their banking platforms, and this is making slight the competence of the bank in securing the deposits of its numerous customers, who had been left in limbo by the management of the GTBank.

The bank is taking so many backlash over the recent issue as some customers are threatening seeking legal approach claiming the long disruption of banking activities has cost them huge loss.

Nigerians on the X (formally Twitter) had been coming up with several reasons for the unauthorized transactions on different accounts that. According to some Netizens, after discovering the evidence of the unauthorized transactions, expressed fear and suspicion that the transactions may be that some fraudsters within and outside the bank had hide under the upgrade to use their accounts to fraudulently transfer proceed of fraud.

GTBank has not responded in anyway to the accusations and suspicion, while giving the shocked and angry customers the silent treatment, some have taken to the social media to warn against banking with the bank over the shoddy treatment.
