Are Nigerian Banks Protecting Scammers? by mcdokwe(m): 2:14pm On Aug 23, 2022
I had to ask this question because often times, when you go to the bank and complain, they tell you there's nothing they can do, oya give me the contact details, they will say they don't 'release details of their customers'

can this not be translated to mean they protect them as they continue going about scamming unsuspecting individuals?

They are protecting their business against litigation. They hand over their customer contact to you, then they have set a precedence. Banks and corporation have enemies too, they won't risk that for your claim as the moment they do, any bonified attorney will break them, to them that's a huge loss and risk they will never take. Report to your local law enforcement, helps if you have valuable information that will help also assist them. It is only the Federal government or the banks governing body in this case CBN that can request such details. Sorry for your loss, pls be wary of your dealings next time.

It is the duty of a bank to protect its customers' privacy and confidential information. It is generally not their responsibility to help you track criminals. That I think is the job of the law enforcement agencies such as police, efcc, etc

You may only access that through law enforcement agency. Get police report first

Says who?
Not when u have very concrete evidence against such so called customer.
Banks in advanced countries help victims to recover their money without Involving law enforcement agencies.
So why is ours different?

They advice and cancel transactions. They don't help track nor release customer details.

They are not protecting them. They are actually the real scammers.

How do you explain this: the very day two of my underage nieces opened their bank accounts and got their atm cards, they received calls from scammers asking for their card details.

Bank managers conspire with fraudsters to dupe people. The rate of fraud in the banking sector is alarming.
