Heritage Bank depositors demand full refunds

Depositors of the collapsed Heritage Bank in Nigeria are demanding the full repayment of their funds over two years after the bank's license was revoked. The Concerned Heritage Bank Depositors Forum has expressed frustration over the prolonged uncertainty, stating that the delays have caused severe financial hardships for individuals relying on these funds for essential needs like education, healthcare, and retirement. Despite the Central Bank of Nigeria appointing the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) as the liquidator, some depositors remain unable to access their money. The group is urging the federal government, financial regulators, and civil society to assist in resolving the issue and restoring public trust in the banking system. The NDIC acknowledged challenges in tracing all depositors due to inherited accounts from previous banks.
