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!!!!!!

@YouthsPCO

First bank is currently having issues with airtime recharge from firstmobile and *894#. I'm sure your money will be refunded back to you.

For the other issues you mentioned, I want to specifically talk about the online transactions. From my understanding, First bank MasterCards by default is valid for only transactions within Nigeria.

However, you can enable the card for transactions in any country of the world from your mobile app. This is aimed at giving customers some level of control over their cards and prevent incident of fraud.

First bank is the most useless bank in this country. I've been battling with this thieves for the past 5 days. I was debited 4 times while trying to pay for my DStv, I have mailed, twitted, called all to no avail. I've never seen a bank with such a useless, foolish and incompetent customer service.

I'm patiently waiting for them to refund my money before closing that account and change my salary account. I've never been this frustrated because of a bank before. Nonsense.

The hitherto efficient First Bank has turned to nothing but a shiithole, yes, a big shiithole. They debited me of my last money at the ATM, on Sallah day, thereby spoiling my Sallah completely. I only got refunded few days back.

As if that wasn't enough, I tried to recharge my phone again, and they debited me instantly, but I have yet to receive the card, neither did they refund the money.

First bank is hiding under the cover of network error, to hold on to people's money. I have two FBN accounts and I'm shutting all of them down....

The next time I see a firstbank staff

@OP

So sorry about that experience you have had.

The bank takes no pride to dissatisfy you than put you first. The bank appreciates your feedback so to serve you better. If you see something, say something. #YouFirst

Meanwhile, where this happens( against 24hours of possible reversal); kindly walk into any of its branch closest and most convenient to you to lodge the complaint.

There, a representative will attend to you for the reversal back-end with a turn around time of 3-7 working days. There are cases where it doesn't span to this period.

The bank is still positioned to offer you seamless but convenient transactions. The Firstmobile app is up and running and has more new features added to meet your needs.

Please kindly call firstContact help line 014485500 or www.firstbanknigeria.com
[/s]
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?

U lucky it's first bank.....Eco bank ain't giving yhu an alert mssg, so yhu don't use it as evidence.
tought I was the only one facing this SMS rubbish from eco bank!! Chei this eco bank with Loud empty excellence!!. As for first bank ,they seem to be struggling to grapple with their new POS innovation! You go to collect money via their pos, you are debited but the pos owner isnt credited until after plenty days thus he can't give you the said amount because he hasn't been credited by first bank!! This 21st century banking is a scam!!

Lemme explain this situations with bank debits that fail. No bank operates alone and monitors every transactions. Each bank use the services of other e- business service providers like Quickteller OR Net teller or MTN or AIRTEL or GLO. These interaction help serve each customer needs. Now for transfers, NIBSS controls each of them likewise POS. No system is perfect, so some network glitches may occur. Next time an issue happens like this, u just go to the nearest bank to lodge a complaint than ranting here because it will neva solve the problem.

KNOWLEDGE IS KEY!

I had this same issue with UBA yesterday, mine was 4,000 naira.

I sent a mail after waiting for 24 hours and it was resolved in less than 12 hours

But I still can't fathom why such a problem must occur and what if it were an instant business transaction to be carried out?

That's how an argument would ensue over who is wrong or right..

First bank used to be my best bank when it comes to ebanking /internet banking/mobile banking not until they chnaged their website in the name of upgrade. That singular act caused a major havoc to their banking services.

I will advise first bank to revert to the system they had in place in early 2017.
Whatever upgrade they think they have done is not working.
So it is better they revert.

Today marks one week Eco bank is holding my 15,000.
Naira. A failed mobile app transfer which I got debited for and the money didn't drop in the the destination account.

My 20,000 was held in 2013 for 4months before it got reversed.

Immediately this one is reversed, I will shut down the account.
