It's valid but with a limit. You need to upgrade your account with nepa bill and others

The account is valid. But you need to go to the bank for further documentation. There is limit to the account.

Not a staff.

In addition to the above. Going to the branch for further documentation may not be necessary, provided you opened the account with your BVN. However, you would be required to visit their branch to request for a debit card (to enable you transfer funds via USSD, ATM) and documentation ( if you wish to upgrade the account to a Standard one that can allow you receive above 50k per inflow.

Yes na. First Bank even suprised me today. I Updated my misplaced number with my new one without me going to their office.

That's very bad. Identity theft is a real thing.

I don't know why they don't make things easier for us. I opened my Standard chattered account on my mobile and also received my ATM card without stepping into any of their branches.

The account is okay as it is.
Maximum amount that can be in account as it is 300,000 naira
Maximum single credit into account as it is 50,000 naira

For withdrawals and ATM as it is,kindly visit any Branch with a passport photo only.

Please note that before any transfers from said account,you must visit any branch for an ATM card as ATM card must be linked for transfers.

For an upgrade of the account,visit any branch with a valid ID,passport photo and a recent Utility bill -not more than 3months.
Regards.

Good day nairalanders, pls I opened a first bank savings account with my phone using my bvn I want to know if the account is valid, or do I need to go to a first bank branch. Normally first bank ask for certain requirements to open a savings account for example nepa bill, account opening cash and means of identification but dis requirements wia not asked of me during d online registration. Pls I need a response is really urgent
Your BVN has your all your details except address but why are you still using legacy banks that steal your money and charge for transfers. Go to one of the neo banks that give 100 free transfers monthly, free virtual and debit card.

The account is valid, it's just that you won't be able to make a withdrawal on it (until you finish the necessary documentations in the bank) but you can deposit money into it

The account is valid. But you might not be able to withdraw. You will need to visit the bank to submit the remaining documents . then it will be activated .

Opening account online is total waste of time. You will still need to visit any of their branch and fill the form again. Go with ur passport photo, ID card and nepa bill.
Re: I Opened A First Bank Savings Account Online Using My Phone by aigohior(m): 5:32pm On Mar 07, 2022
Since you opened the account with bvn, your account is okay.

the account is valid but with limitations. So you would need to go to the bank
Why not open a standard chartered account using only your phone, no need going to the bank because everything is done on your phone

But how will I get dia atm card

Something that you can easily do on the Alat by Wema app. You can easily open an account from the comfort of your home without visiting the bank. Every documentation is done online. They even deliver ATM card to your doorstep
