Call which helpless helpline? Same help line that I just burnt my airtime waiting and couldn't wait any longer and ended the call? Helpline that keeps playing a useless song for more than 5 mins with no response? Or is it your Twitter handle that takes an average of 2 days to respond to messages? Do you people respond to mails apart from useless the automated response? What sort of useless barbaric customer service do you people run?

Thanks for the response.
The bank understands and empathises with you.

Could you please walk into any of its branch? Pls assured that you will get your money and be attended to.

First bank customers will see ATM of another bank free but they'll still want to withdraw from their ATM with so many customers. it's not about the debiting, like loyalty.

I can stomach using blackboard marker to write my name on an ATM for years , i can stomach not being able to use my ATM for some online transactions when GT does same seamlessly, but for a big bank like FBN it is a SHAME.

First Bank is becoming very unbankable at atleast e-wise, as it is becoming almost impossible to transact any thing online via the mobile platform without glitches and disappointments, from ATM rejections to several other issues to numerous to mention.it is as if the Analog demon has taken them over.

When it comes to mobile banking their once flawless system have become a shadow of itself. I was in a remote area and badly airtime to communicate with my team on the 30th of August , with data on my phone thought it wise to buy airtime fast using First Mobile , The system debited me twice without giving the said credit. I waited for for reversals which would normally occur automatically within 24 hours but no show for 8 days.

I called customer service and after waiting endlessly on the line for first contact i was finally answered and guess what ! I still had to wait for a time frame that extended till up till 14 September who does that? Still willing to trust the First Bank, i tried again on the 6th and 7th that was how another 7k hanged and was told to wait another 7 days.

In this era of e-Banking Firstbank must stop playing catch up. The management of firtsbank must find a solution to this embarrassing failure which has now become a trade mark of the bank.

I cant remember the number of times they have swallowed my money without reversing but i said this would be the last . not in this Buhari economy .Those willing to get hanged can continue for me i have had enough!!!!!!










You should consider having a secondary account with UBA. Their mobile App is top notch and USSD operation is second to none.

FirstBank reminds the best bank when it comes to e-banking in Nigeria. Their mobile app is the best in the industry based on my observation. FirstBank is just a partner on airtime recharge, the Telecoms also have a role to play. Visit the nearest branch. It will be resolved within 24hrs.

Same thing happened to me yesterday.
I initiated a recharge of #2000 of my MTN sim on my firstbank Mobile App. The money was deducted from my account when the recharge was not successful. I have tried calling to speak to a Firstbank call center agent but anytime they pick up the call suddenly ends.

I had to send them a mail and if by tomorrow i dont get a response i will go and lodge a formal complaint physically in the banking hall. This is the second time its happening. The first was for a recharge of#200 but i let it slide.

This is daylight robbery and dey should be held accountable.



Fire them on Twitter and you will get fast response

Gtbank has swallowed my intended airtime money more than Firstbank. I bank with both banks and both of them have the same fault. They are in Naija. I have this feeling that the OP is a Gtbank staff.

How come I've had serious issues with a couple of my clients who paid me using gtb and even after three hours I didn't get alert.

Not one or two or three cases, uncountable, one giu even brought military men to forcefully take car wey I never see alert. In some cases it comes after they must have left and in other cases, it never comes but reverses after some days.

NB : I've been using first bank since 2008 too and they've never disappointed me, I only enter their branch for ATM renewal of for transactions above the mobile limit. Does that now mean first bank is flawless?

U lucky it's first bank.....Eco bank ain't giving yhu an alert mssg, so yhu don't use it as evidence.

I don't blame the Nigerian banks doing this nonsense, I only blame the CBN and other bank regulatory bodies not doing their duties.

Without my knowledge and consent, Ecobank converted my former Oceanic bank savings account to Gold savings account. In this gold savings account, the minimum account balance is #5,000.00.

I never knew of this change because I had huge amount of money saved up. I only realized it when I went to almost empty my account for a project and was surprisingly told that I must leave an account balance of not less than #5,000.00. Since then, I just abandoned the account.

As I write this, the current balance in that account has changed from #5,000.00 to about #2,000.00 because of funny bank deductions.

I'll create time to go to the bank to close my account with them because I get angry whenever they send me an alert of their funny deductions and remaining account balance.

Only God knows the number of people with a similar bitter experience. Our regulatory bodies in Nigeria have to sit up.

You were debited without getting the commensurate value of the debit. Call your bank for a reimbursement. Nairaland won't do that.

If you comprehend what he stated...he didn’t come to Naira to complain or to be reimbursed, he has already called the bank to do that and they stated his money will be credits back in 7 days.

He is just here to relate his personal experience just like many people do on Nairaland and not looking for a resolution, since he have already gotten that taken care of.

Something similar happened to me, did an online inter-bank transfer....the transaction failed, but they have collected their N52 stamp duty and N50 maintenance charge.

After a few hours, the N52 was reversed but not the N50 and it’s more than a week now.

Though, am not calling or complains to them, it will cost me more N50 to pursue the complaint, it’s a waste of my time....but imagine how many people ends up in my shoes each year and the money these bank are illegally raking in...
