Access Bank Plc has debunked rumours circulating on social media that it is shutting down, describing the reports as false and malicious. According to the bank, the fake report falsely portrayed itself as an official communication from Access Bank with the intention of creating panic and disrupting business activities. “We wish to reassure our customers, partners, stakeholders and the general public that Access Bank is safe, financially strong and fully operational across all our subsidiaries. Access Bank said it had begun working with regulatory agencies and security authorities to trace those responsible for originating and circulating the false information. Reaffirming its commitment to customers, Access Bank said it would continue to provide secure, reliable and uninterrupted banking services while maintaining the confidence reposed in it by millions of customers across Nigeria and its international operations.
