The other day, a rumpus ensued in a banking hall where a customer
accused the bank in question of deliberate attempt to defraud him. What
was behind this allegation? He used the bank's Automated Teller
Machine(ATM) to recharge his phone with #2,400 worth of airtime, but
there was nary an airtime on his phone yet the amount was deducted from
his balance.
The aggrieved customer said he had complained
repeatedly to the bank for which they always gave him a complaint form
to fill that he dutifully filled yet the sham wasn't rectified. This, he
maintained, has lasted for five weeks hence his resolve to come hard on
the bank. Don't lose focus, what you are expected to glean from that is
the failure of ATMs!
Cases like the above must have necessitated
the investigation launched by the House of Representatives and the
Consumer Protection Council (CPC) into allegations of indiscriminate
seizure of customers’ money by the malfunctioning Automated Teller
Machines of banks.
