NDIC Reports Decline in "Wonder Banks" Activities
The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), represented by Chief Executive Officer Thompson Oludar, announced a significant reduction in the activities of "wonder banks," which are known for promising high returns to depositors. This statement was made during the NDIC's participation in the 37th Enugu International Trade Fair, themed "Empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) for Global Competitiveness." Oludar highlighted the regulatory efforts of the NDIC, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to combat these illegal financial schemes.
He urged depositors to verify the authenticity of financial institutions by checking for NDIC certification and stickers. The NDIC also warned against sharing personal banking information to avoid scams.
Oludar reiterated that depositors should be cautious of offers that promise unusually high returns and should only invest in licensed financial institutions to ensure their funds are protected.
