Rokel Commercial Bank (RCBank) has refuted a video shared widely on social media implicating the bank in fraud.
According to video, the bank was depicted to be engaged in fraud after one of the speakers in the video said there were missing notes with the bank’s wrappers.
The speaker said the monies were collected from the bank.
But a press release from RCBank refuted the allegation citing that it is a mere ploy to smear the image of the bank and its staff.
“We have carefully analysed the video and it is considered that the contents were not only fictitious but we’re a brazen attempt to discredit the work of our dedicated and highly trained professional cashiers,” the bank’s management said.
They added that the intent of the video is to bring down the reputation of bank’s management by “individuals with ulterior motives”.
This is second time in less than two months such video surfed the web with the first implicating ECOBANK. RCBank said the move on ECOBANK is synonymous to the one targeting their bank.
“Apparently, as if the instructions given in the first instance weren’t clear, they decided to correct their first mistake by recording another video in their determined campaign to drag the good image of the Rokel Commercial Bank into the mud,” they said.
The management of the bank said they will be working with the Sierra Leone Police to investigate the video and bring to book those responsible.
They urge the public to disregard the video while branding it to be “mischievous, corrosive and a faceless attempt” to reduce the bank’s credibility.
Watch the video below:
In 2021, I went and collected le 27,000,000 at RCB in Bo branch and because of the huge amount I was on able to count it at that moment in front of the cashiers in the bulk room so when I reached my office I checked it rapper after rapper and at the end le 250,000 was shortened. The management of RCB really need to address this issue of Leones shortage in rappers so the institution will continue to maintain it credibility which it stands for.
But why not showing your face but only the money

Please Sir
I agree with you it has been going on
Why couldn’t the guys counting the money and the others around him not showing their faces? This is a scam. If they trust that the monies were picked from the bank in the form in which they’re claiming then they should show their faces to prove their claims. Shame
This is really undone and unacceptable, Rokel commercial bank is expected to be one of the banks with high integrity and professionalism but it’s rather unfortunate this same bank turn out to be operated by thieves. People have been through a lot all these while, and they don’t have anywhere to complain, I’m a living victim of such.
Honestly Anti Corruption Commission should intervene in order to investigate these thieves and these money that they have sachets already. These is one of the cause for which Sierra Leone is not heading forward and people are always blaming the Government of all these problems hmmm🤦
These people know how to get into your account and deduct money thinking it won’t be discovered. I have been a victim of this in 2022, so I decided not to save money again in that account. I’ll rather keep my money than to take it to the bank.
Why are old notes still in circulation? The government had printed new notes and had made several press releases of the final dates for the circulation of these old notes. Are the monies printed not enough to circulate or are the old notes more durable than the new ones?
