FirstBank *894# USSD
FirstBank's official page describes *894# as a quick banking service for transfers, balance checks, airtime, bill payments and more without internet. It also explains registration through *894*0# for eligible customers. Because USSD uses your registered phone number and PIN, you should treat the SIM as part of your bank security.
FirstMobile, FirstOnline and statements
Use the mobile app or online banking when you need a receipt, longer history, statement, token-supported action or a clearer view of your account. If you are preparing a bank statement for visa, school, rent or work, confirm the exact period and format needed before downloading.
Network issues and failed transfers
Questions about FirstBank network issues often come up when users see pending transfers or app errors. Do not repeat large transfers because the first one looks delayed. Save the receipt or failed-message screenshot, note the time, and contact FirstBank through official support if value has left your account.
FirstBank safety note
FirstBank's large customer base makes it a frequent target for fake support pages. Avoid unofficial phone numbers and support comments. No legitimate bank-support process should require your full PIN, OTP, token code or card password.

Before you contact customer care
Prepare the facts before reporting a bank issue. For failed transfer, unauthorized debit, ATM dispense error, POS dispute, app login problem or card issue, write down the date, time, amount, channel, beneficiary, transaction reference and what the app or receipt showed.
Do not include OTP, full card number, full PIN, password or token code in a complaint message. A support officer can investigate a transaction without those private credentials.
- Use official app, website, contact-centre, branch or verified profile details.
- Ask for a complaint or ticket reference when money is involved.
- Keep screenshots but hide OTPs, card details and sensitive balances where possible.
- If the bank does not resolve the issue within its complaint process, escalate with evidence through the appropriate regulatory route.
