Customers of Zenith Bank have been urged to immediately review their accounts and confirm that their funds remain secure following the bank’s recent data breach.

The President of the Bank Consumers Association of Nigeria (BCAN), Dr. Uju Ogunbunka, made the call during an interview on Wednesday, advising customers not to take the incident lightly.

His comments come after Zenith Bank confirmed that hackers gained unauthorised access to some customers’ data.

Ogunbunka advised affected customers to log into their accounts, monitor recent transactions, and contact their account officers or visit the nearest bank branch to verify that their account balances remain unchanged.

He stressed the importance of checking for any unauthorised transactions or irregularities that may indicate compromise of their accounts.

The BCAN president also urged banks across the country to strengthen their cybersecurity systems and implement more robust measures to guard against future cyberattacks.

Zenith Bank has assured customers that it is addressing the situation, while investigations into the breach continue.
