A 62-year-old woman named Peng died outside the Agricultural Bank of China’s Tianxin branch in Zhuzhou, Hunan, after she was required to withdraw funds in person despite her poor health.

The incident, captured in a viral video by her nephew on Weibo, has sparked public outrage and raised concerns about China’s inflexible banking regulations.

Peng, who has diabetes and is recovering from a leg fracture, needed 50,000 yuan (USD 7,000) for medical expenses. Her daughter attempted the transaction but faced repeated password errors. Despite warnings about Peng’s condition, bank staff insisted she appear in person for identity verification, including facial recognition, per the South China Morning Post.

Peng collapsed after an hour-long ordeal outside the bank and died. Local police attributed his death to a sudden outbreak of illness.

The incident triggered a firestorm on Weibo, with users condemning the bank’s inflexibility. “Why prioritise rules over human lives?” one post asked (@SCMPNews).

According to Radio Free Asia, the bank offered 100,000 yuan for compensation and funeral expenses. However, its refusal to release the surveillance footage has raised suspicions. The Zhuzhou police and a bank task force are currently investigating.

The tragedy highlights China’s strict banking policies, often requiring in-person verification to combat fraud, which can burden vulnerable clients. Dr. Wei Lin, a policy analyst at Peking University, states, “This case exposes the need for compassionate exceptions in banking protocols.”

The incident has spurred demands for flexible banking policies, especially for disabled or ill customers. The Agricultural Bank of China has pledged cooperation with authorities, but public trust remains shaken.
