For some weeks now, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) has been trending on on X (formerly Twitter).
This is as customers took to the platform to express frustration and disappointment over what they described as the bank’s poor service delivery lately.
Many complained of money missing from their accounts, unknown deductions and unauthorized debits.
The problem is that despite raising the issue with the bank, no resolution has been provided.
Here are several reactions from X users:

“So, something is has been happening at @gtbank for a while now and people have not been able to talk about it, surprisingly, despite experiencing it. There seems to be an ongoing fraud there, ripping people off their monies.
1. Your account could read ZERO balance and from nowhere, you see a MINUS N400k balance in your account as if you took a loan and the loan was due. You don’t have access any money paid to you.
2. Any money that hits your account gets deducted because of the “debt” that was placed on your account magically.
3. If that is your salary account, when your salary gets paid and it hits your account, it disappears or the amount you “owe” is deducted and you are given your change.
4. You complain at customer care. They run diagnostics and find that on your last salary payment before the present one “you were paid twice” but you didn’t see any alert and your account always read zero until the sudden magic. So if you do not check your account regularly, you won’t know when they hit you with a minus.
5. They tell you to sort it out with your employers that a LIEN was placed on your account. You contact your employers and it is not from them as they paid ONCE. But your bank said you were paid twice.
6. You check your bank statement and it shows that you were paid by your bank (same salary amount) but it never hit your account but is it reading negative. So you “owe” them.
7. You get tossed up and down tillyou get tired. Your money GONE. Untraceable. 1 to 7 above is my story today and that of many other people i know hut who don’t have a voice to call them out. Please call out this bank. Don’t ignore this tweet. Don’t scroll past. It is us today, if you use GTB, it will sure get to you. Changing salary account could be done but as at now, we need to be saved from this mess.
This is scam and this is unfair. If you have a GTB account, it is advised that you take all your money out and close your account with them. A lot is happening there as at now. Please RT, tag them and comment. Don’t ignore. Please.”
