NIRSAL Microfinance Bank has cautioned the general public to beware of people parading as their staff or agents demanding money from citizens to secure loans.
A statement by the management of the bank on Monday cautioned citizens against falling prey to such agents.
“The attention of the management of NIRSAL Microfinance Bank has been drawn to some unethical practices being perpetrated by individuals disguising as its staff or agents, demanding and receiving money from unsuspecting members of the public purportedly to secure COVID-19 Targeted Credit Facility or the AGSMEIS Loan”.
“Members of the public are hereby cautioned against falling prey to such people because the COVID-19 Targeted Credit Facility being disbursed by NMFB on behalf of the Central Bank of Nigeria is a LOAN not a GRANT and beneficiaries MUST pay back with interest,” NIRSAL said.
The Microfinance Bank also informed Nigerians who may have been scammed by these unscrupulous people to lodge a complaint on their Whistleblowing portal by sending an email on WHISTLEBLOWER AT (whistleblower@nmfb.com.ng)”
“If you are in any doubt, please contact us on 09010020656 or visit www.nmfb.com.ng,” it insisted.
