Wema Bank Plc has reassured all its customers that all their data have been kept confidential.
The Bank gave the reassurance on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, after its attention was drawn to recent reports of members
of the public receiving text messages with account numbers.
Saying that it was currently investigating the reports, it stated as a financial institution, Wema Bank takes issues around data
integrity and breaches seriously.
“Recently, we embarked on a massive activation campaign in the month and wish to state that all accounts
opened are valid and fit for use.
“We would like to reassure our customers that we keep all customers data
confidential. Do note, however, that no account can be activated except by the owner of the account,
when the person downloads the app and proceeds with account confirmation,” the Bank stated.
It also implored everyone to keep their personal details safe, as scammers were on the prowl and would
seize all opportunities to defraud customers.
Wema Bank advised: “Where you think your data may have been compromised,
please change all your passwords and PINs immediately.”
“We want to assure all our customers that your financial transactions remain safe and secure with Wema
Bank,” it added.
The Bank expressed appreciation to all its customers for choosing to bank with it, urging them to refer its simple,
convenient, and reliable digital banking services via ALAT to their friends and family.
