The management of Access bank Plc has sympathised with #EndSARS protesters for freezing their accounts.
Access Bank had frozen the accounts of at least eight persons involved in the #EndSARS campaign based on the orders of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Access Bank explained in a statement on Friday that as a financial institution, it was bound by the regulations of the CBN.
It said it was looking forward to unfreezing the accounts.
The statement read in part, “We want to express our sympathy for the inconvenience that eight of our customers are going through due to the restrictions on their accounts as mandated by a federal court order. We are eager for this to be resolved as soon as possible.
“It is common knowledge that we and the entire banking industry are regulated entities and therefore operate under the authority of our regulators and law enforcement agencies. As such we are compelled to comply with regulatory directives.

“While acknowledging the concern of all well-meaning parties, we urge that enquiries and views be channelled to the relevant regulatory and judicial agencies where the matter is receiving attention.
“It is therefore surprising that some individuals still choose to target Access Bank in a negative manner despite not being the source of the action.”
Access Bank said it had always been at the forefront of innovative efforts in support of the development of Nigeria.
