Can a company sue a bank issued a credit card with forged salary certificate?

Dear Sir/Madam,

The bank processed a credit card under my ID without verifying my salary certificate from my employer.

Some of their employees forged the certificate, promising me a loan. They listed my salary as 18,500 AED per month, and the bank issued the credit card without confirming with my employer.

Can my company sue the bank for not verifying the salary certificate before issuing the credit card in my name?

My company never issued or stamped my salary certificate, and I didn't give it to the bank; it is 100% forged.

Hi,

You can just cancel the credit card under your name as of now.

Pertaining to issuing a claim for forgery, we will have to first review your documents on the basis of which the claim will be raised; requesting you to share the same.

Should you have any queries, feel free to contact us via phone, or email, or share your contact details so we call you.

No, because the certificate is presented at the responsibility of the employee and not the company.
