Why Do Banks Ask For Nepa Bill Before Opening Account? by lifezone247(m): 9:11pm On Jan 06, 2022 |
Was in the bank today when the customer care attendant was asking a student of a nepa bill before he can open an account, the guy says he’s still residing along his parents, the lady says he should go and get one from his parent house. Just wondering the connection between nepa and this bank account opening thing. What if my house is powered by solar? Bankers in the house can someone pls explain?

lifezone247:It is not limited to NEPA bill alone. What banks ask for is UTILITY BILL. If you don't have NEPA bill, you should have receipt of other bills you pay that contains your correct house address. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Whether it's NEPA bill or Utility bill, it only serves one purpose. To know if you're from the downtown or you're from uptown. And they will always treat you based on that. |

The right word is Utility bill such as PHCN bill, LWMA bill or water cooperation bill. For standard savings account a utility bill is required and a valid means of identification as required by CBN also for ease KYC. Although there are other accouns one can open without utility bill just that it will have some restrictions especially daily transaction limit. Read more on types of accounts on CBN portal. |
