The suspect, Martha Amakye, a personal solution consultant or sales officer at the Tema Community One branch of Stanbic Bank, is said to have collected various sums of money from customers of the bank between 2015 and 2016 on the pretext of investing it in fixed deposits.

A 33-year-old outsourced worker of Stanbic Bank Ghana has been declared wanted by the Ghana Police Service for allegedly defrauding numerous of customers of the bank of more than GH¢900,000.

She is said to have promised the customers interest rate of between 18 and 20 per cent per month.

Sources say the suspect was able to contact the victims and several other customers, where she lured them with the high-interest rate on their investment.

She is said to have done this without the consent of the management of the bank.

Martha, however, is believed to have absconded after the Financial Crime Control Unit of the bank realised that she was involved in some fraudulent transactions.

The bank has since posted Amakye’s pictures on its Facebook timeline, with a message that urged anyone with information on her whereabouts to call the police.

Customers have also been entreated to always make payments directly to tellers and demand receipts or stamped payment slips for all payments.
