Internet And Mobile Banking

Technological advancement in the banking sector has really helped in making banking easier for most people, especially the younger generation. In recent time, people seem to prefer making transactions from the comfort of their home using their phones than coming to the banking hall. There’s a ton of reasons why they prefer mobile banking to office transactions. Some of the reasons are because mobile banking is easier to use, it can be easily accessed, it boasts higher security, sometimes little or nothing is spent for any transaction performed with it, and much more.

Like most banks, the bank offers its customers an integrated mobile banking application called First Mobile. With a smartphone, clients are a few steps away from enjoying First Bank’s real-time mobile banking experience.

The app, which is downloaded online, offers various services and can be used to buy airtime on all mobile networks, make domestic fund transfer from First Bank to other banks, pay bills, book flights, make inquiries about customers’ account balance, and also confirm and stop cheques.

Unlike other mobile banking apps, First Mobile can be downloaded and activated without having to visit any of the bank’s branch.

Using the USSD code, to recharge airtime for your self, dial *894*Amount#, to buy airtime for others, dial *894*Amount*Phone Number#, for balance inquiry, dial *894*00#.
