“@StanChartKE A large amount of money was transferred from my account to michelle Wanja Ngunjiri ref. QLT9ARD2L1 and QLT9ARD2L1 and another transferred to Pesalink to a Mariam Wamola. I have reported this and you need to ACT fast……..I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH @StanChartKE”, she wrote on Twitter.

This is the first time the bank is publicly hit with such allegations that are rampant in local banks especially Equity Bank of Kenya, Cooperative Bank of Kenya, and KCB Group.
Equity Bank’s Equitell is well documented on social media as the most insecure form of banking.
