Contact your bank.

If you don't have their number or mail check their official website.

They will send you a reactivation form which you are to fill and scan back to them via E-mail, possibly with some documents like your passport and I.D card, but this should be based on their request anyways.

That should be a step in the right direction.
They will guide you on what next to do.

Please make sure it's the official bank contact number or mail to avoid stories.

But how do you intend operating the account outside naija?

You need a signed request letter, a valid ID card (any if voters card ,National ID, Int'l passport, driver license) and ur BVN, Google your bank's customer care email and mail it to them. It will get the needed attention.

(1) Is e-mail indemnity in-place? Most 9jerians travel without signing the e-mail indemnity form, it gives banks comfort to treat your instructions via e-mail.
If yes, just send a mail to the bank stating that you have signed the e-mail indemnity form before travelling. I assure u, the request will be treated.
(2) If no, contact the bank's customer care via mail to send you the latest reactivation form, and ask for other details required to reactivate. Valid ID and notarized utility bill are required in some banks.

Bonaventura:
These are the steps you should take:

1. Come back to Nigeria
2. Go to the bank on a Monday morning
3. Join the queue and wait for about two hours.
4. When it gets to your turn meet a beautiful young lady wearing heavy make up and chewing gum, she will apologise and tell you there's no network that you should come back the next day, but if you're lucky you smell nice and have a good foreign accent (depending on how long you have stayed abroad) she may attend to you quickly otherwise go home.
5.Next day come back, prepare for fight and quarrel and demand you see the manager depending on the amount you left there.
6. Whisper something to his ears

And you may just be lucky

I had similar issue sometimes back with the then ‘Diamond ‘ bank ..... chatted with them, provided my identity docs and they rang my oversea line to confirm my personal information .....but I didn’t follow it through.

Maybe u can do the same

Hello Nairlanders,
How can someone who stays overseas re-activate his/her Naija Bank account.

- We have sent mail to the account, the requested for someone docs, we were provided.

- They requested we submit/courier the document to the bank branch or head quarter.

- The account holder can’t even remember his/her BVN as he/she operated the account in like 4Years. But money keep being deposited in it as a plan B account. But now the money is needed urgently and the account can’t leave he/she resides now.

- The Bank Here is StanbicIBTc. If there’s any staff here they should please get in touch. As someone is about to Die here.

- The Bank Gurus are highly welcome too. As your helps are urgently needed on this.

Thanks and God Bless!

Save your energy, you have to return to NIGERIA and go the Branch you opened the account and sort it from there. There is no short cut to it.

Yap so how

Download the form, or I send you via mail,
Print out.
Fill (also attach a passport photo on the mandate card)
Include a copy of your international passport
If you have a drivers license with your house address written on it, fine.(we use that as ur utility bill, or your bank statement there too can serve as this)
Include a copy of your permit.
Scan everything in colour.
No need to notarize any document.

But mind you, a PND restriction will be placed on the account since there is no BVN on the account.
If you live in a country(14 of them for now outside naija) where BVN can be done, you can go and do the BVN anytime you like, then we link when you provide it.

Goodluck.
