Peace Usen, a business owner based in Akwa-Ibom State, has narrated how the United Bank for Africa (UBA) bank, one of the commercial banks in Nigeria, deducted the N9,000 left in her account.
Usen said the deduction was made via Paystack, a popular payment gateway in Nigeria.
“I hardly use my UBA account for any kind of transaction because they usually have a lot issues, but recently, I had to use it because my other ATM card expired,” she told FIJ.
“I used the account only last month, and on June 30, I got a debit alert of N9000. That was all I had in the account. The transaction was done via Paystack.
“I sent a message to Paystack asking questions, but I was told that the debit was connected to a business called Bangbet.
“I had never heard the company’s name, and there was no reason why I would purchase something from them when I barely knew their name.
“Paystack asked me to reach out to my bank so they could file a fraud claim on the transaction.
“Besides, my card is usually always with me in my purse, and I haven’t been using it for a while. I don’t stay with anybody also, so I find it hard to believe my card was compromised,” Usen said.
FIJ sent an email to UBA but it was yet to make comments as of press time.
