Some of the customers had on Friday stormed their branch in Gwarinpa, Abuja complaining of debits made in their accounts.
According to findings by THE WHISTLER, some of the affected customers do not have ATM cards or have for long deactivated their cards.
Hundreds of customers have taken their grievances to Twitter.
“A friend just sent his account details where N20,000 was debited frm his GTBank account,luckily for him he just withdrew all cash in his account last night,now his account is placed on N19,000 debit If you have a GTBank account you can confirm this ASAP, I think the system is hacked,” a tweet read.
“Every false Debit that was carried out by GTB today happened between 10am -11am. I still don’t understand what they mean by NIP transaction. @gtbank, I will do the unusual on Monday at your bank,” another customer with Twitter handle @special_person_ said.
Another user, @wallex15, tweeted, “Pls @gtbank return my N72,200. You guys removed from my account not quiet long.”
