Pan African financial institution, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, has called on its customers to exercise utmost caution in their banking transactions and ensure that they do not fall prey to any nefarious activities during the Coronavirus lockdown period.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Specifically, UBA has urged its customers not to divulge any sensitive personal information regarding their bank and or card details.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

UBA\u2019s Executive Director, Retail Banking & Payments, Chukwuma Nweke said the bank\u2019s attention has been drawn to some fraudulent messages making the rounds, where customers have been asked to provide their card details for disbursement of funds into their accounts. He emphasised that customers should ignore such requests\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of our customers may have received a call or message asking for their card details and Bank Validation Number (BVN) for disbursement of COVID-19 funds. Others may have also received an email informing them of bonuses of between N30,000 and N70,000 upon validation of their bank details online.\u00a0\u00a0It is important to note that these emails and messages did not originate from UBA, and we would never at any point in time ask for your account details over the telephone of via SMS, emails, live chat or social media.\u00a0 We advise that you kindly delete these messages and do not entertain calls of this nature. Please also inform the bank of these incidences immediately they occur\u2019.<\/u><\/u><\/p>

\u201cYour card is for your personal use alone, do not give out your PIN and do not share any information regarding your card with anybody; if your card is missing or stolen please contact us immediately\u2019 he said<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
