- Access Bank Plc has strongly denied the accusations leveled by Verydarkman, who alleged the bank engaged in unethical practices and wrongfully withheld a ₦500 million inheritance from a customer.
- The bank, standing firmly behind its reputation, issued a defiant statement, reaffirming its unwavering dedication to upholding the highest standards of integrity and ethics in all its operations.
Access Bank PLC has erupted with force, dismissing with utter contempt the bombshell accusations of missing funds and unethical behavior that have sparked a firestorm of controversy.
The uproar began when the notorious social media influencer, VeryDarkMan, took to Instagram with a video that set the internet ablaze.
In it, he alleged that the bank was involved in a shocking dispute over a ₦500 million inheritance, claimed that the family of the late Mr. Edongesi Edet was callously denied access to the deceased’s rightful funds, raising eyebrows and fueling rampant speculation.
However, in a powerful and unyielding response on Sunday, Access Bank wasted no time in dismantling these allegations, categorically labeling them as outright fabrications.
With a firm and unapologetic tone, the bank branded the claims as “totally false,” “unfounded,” and “completely baseless.”
In a bid to silence the rumors, Access Bank went on record stating that it had conducted a thorough, independent investigation into the matter, only to confirm that there was no merit to the accusations—none whatsoever.
The bank emphasized, in no uncertain terms, that the safety, security, and integrity of its customers’ funds remain the core pillars upon which its operations stand.
The full statement read:
“Our attention has been drawn to a video on social media wherein allegations of missing funds and unethical behaviour have been made against Access Bank Pie.
“First and foremost, we wish to emphasise that the safety and security of our customers’ funds are core priorities which we take seriously. Second, Access Bank Pie does not engage in or condone any unethical behaviour.
“In the instant case, the allegations of missing funds in the Bank are most untrue and baseless.
“There is no N500million or any other fund or amount missing from the subject customer’s account or from any other customer’s account with us.
“We and other independent stakeholders in the banking industry have thoroughly investigated these allegations and independently arrived at the same conclusions.
“Access Bank Pie operates with the highest ethical standards and we protect our customers’ interests whilst also respecting privacy laws.
“Consequently, whilst we have engaged and will continue to engage with our customers, we must advise the public not to rely on or believe sensational and unverified claims that are designed to titillate and mislead the public.
“We remain committed to serving our customers.”
