Banco Nacional Warns Customers Not To Lend Their Bank Account

The Banco Nacional (BN) is asking its customers not to lend their accounts to others, even for a fee, as this practice could land you in a judicial nightmare and being blacklisted by the national banking system.

The advice follows an increase of the practice by the bank's customers, more than 40 so far this year, that in most cases is with the consent of the account holder.

Roberto Méndez, the bank's security director, explained that fraud artists ask for consent to use an account to receive a bank transfer, in exchange for fee.

The practice of "renting' a bank account allows the transfer of funds without questioning the origin of the funds. Méndez explained that the practice is mainly among the young or family members.
