ACCESS Bank Plc has described as false and misleading a message circulating on social media and WhatsApp and impersonating the bank’s official handle.
In a statement by it’s management, the bank assured customers, partners, stakeholders and the public that it remains safe, financially strong and fully operational across all its subsidiaries.
It said its services continue to run seamlessly and reaffirmed its commitment to serving customers with the highest standards of excellence.
The bank said it is working closely with the relevant regulatory and law enforcement authorities to identify those responsible for creating and spreading the false information, which it said was intended to cause panic and business disruption.
It added that appropriate legal action would be taken against those responsible in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Access Bank also reminded the public that creating, publishing and disseminating false information capable of causing public alarm, damaging reputations or undermining confidence in institutions constitutes an offence under Section 24 of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2024.
The bank advised members of the public who receive the false message not to share or forward it but to disregard it and rely only on information communicated through its official and verified channels.
It thanked its customers, partners and stakeholders for their continued trust and confidence.
