Sorry pls can you tell me how good piggyvest is have had about it from one of my frd... pls hope it's very secure to save money.. I need ur help
Yes it is secure, you can join different challenge to save money.
But to get the free 1000 you need to update your bvn on the app to be sure you are not a fraud, and send 100 naira to your flex naira

sapientia:


What are you saying?

Is there any logic for bringing CBN into this

Ordinary OTP generated by the bank servers and not CBN

It's the fault of the bank, should not take more than 24 hours to resolve
Is it the bank that lost your sim card, try to be reasonable sometimes,
CBN have every data collection of all banks.
If you have your sim you use to register your bvn , you don't need to visit the bank,
I come in peace

It's not an ATM card matter. I stopped using the phone number in question since 2015... And this is the third ATM card I'm using since then. The thing refused to change. Same number is linked to my BVN as well and thing refused to change despite filling a different form for it also. The entire system is useless

Millions of people are having the same issue.
Mine is GTBANK.

My BvN phone number has been reassigned to another MTN user after I returned from abroad from a one year leave...
Can u imagine that?

GTB said CBN won't accept the upgrade of the number...

So all my BvN verification OTP as well as credit report is via a phone number that does NOT belong to me.

Whatever the dude that uses the old phone number does financially, will be in my credit report by Credit Bureaux.

If he commits fraud, I'll get caught because it's my details linked to his phone number.

I've thought hard about this.
It's a deliberate act by CBN & NCC.

This two institutions are at the time of typing this being run by very corrupt & irresponsible Islamic fundamentalists.

Nigerians are up against it!

My bank OTP Still Sends to My old number Instead of the Updated new Number and I went to the bank (FIDELITY BANK ooooo) and complained that my Otp is still sending to my old number which is already blocked and definitely with a new user Instead of the new number I came here to update.

The fidelity bank staff collected every details and told me it is done and that I should try again in 48 hrs which I did but the problem continues. I went back again and they did another magic and said I should try but still the otp still goes to the old number,

I went back again and the staffs there said they have tried their best that they don't know what to do again, lol ( I was shocked- Imagine, are fidelity staffs this Incompetent?). This particular issue has been on for like a month but still fidelity bank staffs couldn't resolve an online banking issue. Quite suprising.

Please Good people of God how can I resolve this issue because it is totally frustrating?

It happen to me few month ago,I went to the Bank to complain ,the customer care lady collected my details and assured that I will start receiving otp pin to my new number,but all to no avail,then I decided to try their online customer care service through Facebook,but note it must be verified with pass mark,so when they work on it,asssuring me that I will start receiving the Otpin,after some days I tried and it work.
I think you should try to complain to their online customer care through Facebook, only if they are on Facebook.
And note:it must be verified with a blue pass mark,hence you might fall victim of scammers.

Re: My OTP Still Sends To My Old Number Instead Of The Updated New Number by luglio: 7:57pm On May 21, 2021
Please change your ATM card.

I had this same issue. Went to the bank to change my number more than once and it was really done but not effective. You will see that you will be unable to transact successfully across all online platforms except a few without your OTP going to your former telephone number.
Not till I obtained a new ATM card on expiration of the old and used the new number to apply for it did this stop.

they need to reprofile your card for otp.
The way it works is, whenever they activate card for online usage, the system registers the phone number on the account with the card, so even if you update phone number on your account, it doesn't sync automatically with your card. What they need to do is reprofiliing of card for otp. Its at tbat point they link the new phone number with the card. Regards

You are not being kind to Fidelity Bank in your post, , why didn't you mention DStv, Jumia therein but specifically talked about Fidelity Bank. Well, I believed you had known that the problem was not Fidelity Bank alone before you came online

The people you're talking to are just tellers or customer care. Send an email to to them stating the issue. It will be channeled to IT unit and they'll change it. The number they changed on the interface did not change on their db so when you do transactions, otp is sent to the number on db which is still your old number.

yes u had a slight idea it only changed on the local DB but still remain thesame on central db but if synchronized changes would be effected and that can only be done by their application development departmet
Re: My OTP Still Sends To My Old Number Instead Of The Updated New Number by donephi(m): 9:36pm On May 21, 2021
They have not completed the job. If they claim they have, you should be receiving OTP on your updated line. When a phone number is updated in an account. It is updated in two or three different places depending on the software the financial institution is using. First they need to updated on the platform for SMS, then Mobile banking and lastly internet banking. It's obvious they updated on the platform for SMS meaning when transactions are performed(debit or credit) you get alert. But for transactions requiring 2 authentication which is the OTP, they are yet to update the needful. They need to do that before the OTP is received on the new number.

You're not in this alone. I have been begging First Bank for nearly one week now to allow my OTP to come through my email. I have done everything they asked me to do. Send the data page of International Passport, Notarized Letter, Signed Indemnity Form, Spoken with Customer Service several times and all that, yet no show. Now, they're not even answering my mail anymore, and Customer Service is not picking my call anymore.

My mum is sick, I have to go cap in hand borrowing money up and down.
