if they do not take responsabilaty ,what is to stop them saying next time you deposite money"oh sorry the manager did not deposite it but stole it ,nothing to do with us"

I'd say that protecting the bank's reputation and business would prevent the circumstances that you speculated!

Without knowing the details, it's hard to comment on anything. if the bank publishes a rate of 7.5, they are obligated to pay it. Even for an investment vehicle the with risk (for example a mutual fund), they can't publish a rate unless the publish rate was past performance.

I should have clarified that statement in as much as if the bank employee was found to be purportedly acting on behalf of the bank and it was established that it was his "scheme" and his alone in trying to offer bank customers products from his bank, then yes without hesitation. 

So without hesitation AFTER an investigation whereby the bank employee was found culpable, and the bank customers found to be entitled to reimbursement, yes?

As regards that, he was on the bank's premises, using the bank's office, it's utilities and facilities, so I stand by that statement – – the bank is liable.

So if he were having sex with customers in the bathroom, an lifted cash from the customer's pocket, the bank is liable. Clear.

As I said, after investigation and the facts became clear, then the customers would be entitled to reimbursement – yes.

 

As for your rather flippant comment regarding having sex with the customers in the bathroom and stealing cash from the customers pocket, then your common sense should tell you the answer.

 

And to make it easy for you, in having sex, he was not offering a product from the bank, nor offering a product on the pretext of it being from a bank, nor using the banks premises to undertake a financial transaction to the benefit of the customer.

 

Hope that helps.

Have bank frauds/theft never happened in any bank branch anywhere in your country, then?

Not that I know of. I am from the USA.  Very few such incidents. Draconian penalties.

As is going on in Thailand now, yes?

You stated; "As regards that, he was on the bank's premises, using the bank's office, it's utilities and facilities, so I stand by that statement – – the bank is liable."

 

Clearly having sex with customers in the bank's bathroom satisfies those criteria, yes?

 

TO be clear, I agree with you that assuming the customers understood that they were buying legitimate bank products from a bank employee authorized to sell those products, the bank will be held liable. I further believe reimbursement is the likely outcome. 

 

The only way I see the bank getting out of paying is to prove the customers understood the products were not truly legitimate, but that they (the customers) would profit from them. If it sounds too good to be true...

 

This is small money for the bank, I'm guessing their concern it that it opens up another way for employees to work with "customers" to defraud the bank.

Yeah, things went well for him...

 

In any event, he was not representing a bank. 

 

WaMu went bust a while back, but all the deposits were covered.

Early reports sad that he had met some customers off-premises.

Okay, some not all. Initial contact would likely be inside the bank. The specifics of this are important.
