Don’t Fall Victim to Fraud or COVID-19:

We have, unfortunately, noticed an increase in attempts by scammers to defraud people of their hard-earned money. Taking advantage of the current situation, fraudsters call unsuspecting Bankcustomers to obtain their personal Bank details to have unauthorized access to account and defraud customers 

Please, do not fall to the antics of these scams as the Bank will never request for your Bank details. 

Ensure that you protect and do not divulge your personal banking details such as full card number, CVV(the three digit number at the back of your ATM card), PIN, OTP, etc, even when they seem to have full details of your account such as BVN.

Join us in the fight against scammers by reporting any such activity to customercare@unitybankng.com
