The management of Jaiz Bank has cautioned prospective customers to disregard an SMS being circulated that they can open a Jaiz account with another bank.
In a statement, the management described the message as not only ridiculous but also misleading, enjoining the public to disregard such SMS.
The bank also urged prospective customers to visit any of the bank’s 14 branches for account opening.
The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn to a recent SMS indicating that you can open a Jaiz Bank account with another Bank. We want to use this medium to appeal, to disregard such message as it is unthinkable to believe that you can open another bank’s account in another, other than the Bank itself. It is absolutely ridiculous, misleading and devoid of any sensible reasoning.
“Jaiz Bank Plc. obtained a Regional operating license to operate as an Islamic Bank from the Central Bank of Nigeria on the 11th of November 2011 and began full operations as the first Non-Interest Bank in Nigeria on the 6th of January, 2012 with 3 branches located in Abuja FCT, Kaduna and Kano.
“As at today, the Bank has 14 branches spread across its area of operation. We are currently in the process of finalizing our application for a National License with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This will enable us operate in all the states of the Federation.
“The Bank’s fundamentals are strong. It started in 2012 with capital base of N5billion which had since increased to N11.7billion well above the amount required for a specialized Bank National license.
“Currently, the Jaiz Bank Plc is the only full-fledged Non- Interest Bank in Nigeria.
Our vision is to be the dominant non-interest financial service provider in sub-Saharan Africa. “We intend to achieve this by providing innovative, value-added, non-interest financial services to our clientele by employing the best people, supported by technology.
“That is our goal and we strongly believe that with your support and God, we will definitely achieve this objective. The potentials for Non-Interest Islamic Finance are enormous”.

I just knew it from the moment that i received that wicked sms, that it isn’t true. i just cant imagine that there are people out there trying to do this to first ever Islamic bank.*God will catch them*. To Jaiz Bank, Allah ya bah deh sa’a.

Its no surprise that people will always look for avenues to exploit others. It’s a good thing that the bank has been swift in countering the fraudulent SMS. Brings me to a question, does MTN and co not have a means of tracking where these messages are sent from? Or are they just too busy selling recharge cards.

id say good work from the bank in monitoring such. a lot of firms would turn a blind eye to such which is really bad. so many banks in this country do not care about the risks thier customers encounter, as long as they come to deposit money every now and then. Well done Jaiz bank. huge step in the right direction

its Sad that people are still falling for such messages. its pure common sense, and we all posses it. anyway i’m glad to see a bank that’s cautious and concerned about its image, and the safety of its existing and intending customers. well done Jaiz
