They are being given Ghc200 each irrespective of the amounts they are seeking. According to some of the frustrated customers lamented the entity’s lack of communication with them.

“I came all the way from the Volta Region. Since, my salary is paid through this bank, I came here four months ago to seek clarity, but they gave me only Ghc200. I have more than Ghc3,000 in my account, I want to withdraw more than Ghc2000, but anytime I come, they give me Ghc200. Since October, all they give me is Ghc200 anytime I come and they are not telling me anything.â€
