How To Upgrade My First Bank Savings Account

There are two ways to upgrade your First Bank savings account, and regardless of the option you choose, there are some important documents you will need to complete the process.

Therefore, let’s take a look at these requirements.

What Are The Requirements To Upgrade My First Bank Savings Account?

  • A means of identification such as a national passport, national identification card, permanent voter’s card (PVC), or a driver’s license. Ensure the card is yet to expire and bears a clear picture of you.
  • A utility bill, which could be your rent receipt, NEPA bill, or water bill. It is usually to prove your residence, so it must have been issued not more than three months ago. Otherwise, it will be rejected by any first bank representative attending to you. The most widely accepted utility bill is the electricity bill.
  • Two passport photographs – Even though just one is required, hold two just in case policies have changed so you aren’t left stranded.

I assume you have gotten these ready. Good!

So, what are the two methods you can employ to upgrade your First Bank savings account? You can upgrade your savings account remotely or physically.

With this method, he/she does not need to be present at the bank physically. Here is how to go about it:

  1. Call the First Bank customer care center
  2. Request that the call be put through to the Accounts Manager
  3. Explain your situation and table your request.
  4. You will be given an alternative on how to complete the process in absentia.

This method, as the name implies, requires that you visit the bank in person. Thus, the first step in this approach is to prepare your mind to visit any First bank branch around you with the necessary documents.

Moving on, follow the steps indicated below:

  1. Confirm that you have all of the requirements stated above, and double-check that they meet the conditions where applicable.
  2. Walk into any branch of First Bank in your vicinity.
  3. When you get there, head straight to the customer service unit of the branch to place your account upgrade request.
  4. You will be asked to present the documents you came with.
