RAISE ALARM: Many people know this as whistle blowing. Whistle blowing is the art of calling the attention of the authorities to any form of conversation around financial transaction considered to be illicit, fraudulent, deceptive and capable of making one lose money to another.

In Nigeria, the federal government enacted a whistle blowing policy to help individuals draw the attention of the government and financial institutions to act of frauds perpetrated on the both government institutions and private individuals.

As such, the banks are obligated, by this policy, to ensure that your case is investigated to avoid being found culpable.

As a way of making it easy for people to contact their banks, should there be any need to do so, the banks have provided many channels of communication through which people can register their complaints swiftly. This include official email address, toll free phone lines and social media handles.
