105K Transfer To Wrong Beneficiary In Union Bank by georgee(m): 10:07am On Nov 10, 2023
Good morning house

I don't know if this is the right place to post this

June 18th 2023, i mistakenly transfered 105K to a wrong Beneficiary in Union Bank through my stanbic Ibtc banking app.. Immediately i discovered, i contacted Stanbic IBTC (my bank) who immediately wrote to Union bank for funds recall. From June till now, i av called Stanbic IBTC more than 40 times- They said the funds have been placed on lien in the beneficiary's account and they are yet to get through to the bene to get his consent before funds can be transfered back to my account in Stanbic IBTC

I called stanbic ibtc again yesterday and the update was still same.. My 105K cry

Stanbic IBTC advised i get a court injunction to force Union bank into refunding my money back... I don't av any lawyer.. How do i do that..

I had a similar experience a few years ago, i waited for almost two years for the reversal but it did not happen. I called my bank severally, sent mails, send DMs on twitter all to no avail.

I went to the bank personally and was told that only the receiving bank could resolve the issue. Same day, I went to the bank (I also had an account there so it was a bit easy), i spoke with the head of customer service. She put a call through to the account owner and with his permission, She gave me his phone number to call him. I called him and pleaded with him to give his consent so the funds could be reversed, he did and i got my money back, same day.

I'll suggest you go to Union Bank and try your luck.

Thanks for your response.. Unfortunately, i don't have an account with Union bank. I have also been to Union bank branches like twice and it was same... The customer service guy advised me to get a court injunction. The owner of the account is not reachable
