It is very simple. There is a charge for every sms received from the bank be it a debit or credit transaction, it is never free. Now if you do not want to receive sms alert services, visit any FirstBank branch outlet and request for a de-activation or call/write FirstContact and do ya request. For free services, use the email alert services. As for me, the bank remains my best. I used to get charges for sms till I got them deactivated. And for that fella peddling cheap lies of the bank getting liquidated as informed ya by your reliable insider, you should have disowned that false info head on. It is FirstBank, over 100yrs ain't 100months nor 100days. It's 1894 not 1984. |

First Bank are thieves! They rob people through different charges they deduct. I've been using first bank for like 8years now buh plannin to close it down soon and go open with another bank. They deduct some useless and meaningless charges. Imagine at times u can just see somethin like '' Payment for atm card maintenance'' and some other charges. Their charges range from 50 naira to 100naira. At times in a month, they can deduct twice from my account and spoilin my money for me. The truth is that they provide good services too and I'm not disputin that, but they rob people indirectly through unnecessary charges. 1 Like |

And to those that are even saying that some banks are charging N10 per SMS, that even elicitate for more reactions. Why will they be charging as high as N10 per SMS, when we know that all networks charges N4 flat rate and we even expect their charges to be lower than N4 cos we all presumed they use cheaper bulk SMS services. Those defending the Banks should stop because most of them are corporate thieves. That was exactly how they kept telling us that official dollar to Naira exchange rate is 197 Naira per Dollar but they never deduct such from ATM and other Dollar transactions but rather they charge like Black-marketers. So what or how do you expect us to describe that. A lot of criminality are going on day in day out on virtually all sectors of this country and even the banks are inclusive. So allow the OP to complain abeg 3 Likes 1 Share |

dotcomnamename: Somehow there is an SMS alert activated on your account if not they won't dare deduct in the name of SMS alert. Mayb you cant remember but I guess there is a number you used when opening the account if you are the SIM is still active you would av been seeing the alert. Since you are not residing in Nigeria, you will have to mail them to deactivate the SMS alert. their contact Idea on their website is. firstcontact@firstbanknigeria.com +234 700 34778 2668228 |

This is pure cheating... It is business anyways When google, facebook and the rest send you SMS for pin codes, they don't charge for this.... The banks are using similar SMS service... #4 per sms is not much... But my 100 charges on transfer should care for that.. BTW lesson must be learn... Have a business that gives you #1 per month with 1 Million subscribers.... Forget price of fuel you will change level in 1 year |

Re: SMS Alert Charge: Is First Bank Stealing My Money? by Dam5reey(m): 3:05pm On May 29, 2016 |
JuanDeDios: You are correct they allow you to activate Email alert only... That's why I no longer use First bank for buying credit.... Before my sms charges thet reach #300 self As you know failed transactions gets alerts too you pay 8 Naira in those cases.... Cos you get debited and credited back, repeat that 5 times getting the same error First bank is like |

Re: SMS Alert Charge: Is First Bank Stealing My Money? by opribo(m): 3:20pm On May 29, 2016 |
This is unexpected from a big bank like Firstbank. How can they debit someone for sms you did not initiate. If they send you your monthly balance as a value added service, why then do they turn around and charge the person. OP please take them to CBN they must refund all your money. This is the kind of rubbish we see when bankers from do or die banks come to a bank where things are moving normally they come along with their draconian policies. Charge should only be for electronic transactions initiated by you, any other charge is fraud and must be reported. |
