How to transfer and buy airtime from firstbank

With the introduction of the FirstBank USSD code *894#, customers can conveniently perform daily transactions and other banking services such as buying of airtime, checking account balance, paying of utility bills and many more at any point in time.

The *894# banking service can be used on any mobile device such as iPhone, android, windows, Java, BlackBerry and even the popular torchlight phones. It is also available on all networks ( MTN, GLO, Airtel and 9mobile) and does not require any form of internet connection or data as all the USSD services would be delivered directly to the customer's phone number linked to their FirstBank account.

Whether you are a savings or current account holder, these services are completely at your disposal and with the following steps, you can activate the *894# USSD code on your phone.

3. Create a 5 digit PIN which would be used to validate all your transactions.
4. Once these steps are completed, your phone number would be automatically registered to use the *894# banking services.
