GBTI client says statements accessed without consent or court order

The Guyana Bank for Industry and Trade (GBTI) is maintaining that it only releases account information if legally compelled after one of its clients, who is a defendant in a civil case in the High Court, discovered that his bank statements were accessed without his consent or a court order.

Co-owner of Mohammed’s Enterprise Azruddin Mohammed, through his attorney, attempted to submit a nine-page printout of account information for former employee Eon Ferrier but it was disallowed.

Mohammed’s father, Nazar Mohammed, and Ferrier have been named as defendants in an action filed by Davendra Seenarine. Seenarine, a gold trader, is attempting to recover some gold that he reportedly gave to Ferrier.
