[tutorial] Simplest way on how to check your First Bank Account balance using phone with USSD code

Welcome back my guest!!!



After composing a thread on how to transfer funds/money from your

first bank account to anybody in nigeria.



I realise that First bank Nigeria has come out with yet another

exciting service which customers can use to check their account

balance on the go, any day and anytime for free on their mobile phone.



The on the go instant account balance check service from First bank

Nigeria PLC just made the checking of account balance very

much easier. Customers who have

registered for the SMS alert service can with this service check their

account balance at any time of the day by dialing a USSD code on any

phone which has the mobile line/

number linked together with the first bank account on which the

customer receives SMS alert.

The USSD code to dial to check your first bank account balance at any

time you wish to is *894*00# OR *894*NUBAN account number#

(*894*1234567890) where NUBAN account number is the new 10 digit first

bank account number.



On dialing any of the codes, you will receive this information

"Retrieving Balance … you

will receive an SMS shortly" Press Ok on your phone or exit the

information and wait shortly for the SMS alert.



An SMS will be sent to your phone immediately which contains your

current First bank account balance at the very moment the request was

made.



This service comes very handy when you want to avoid the long queues

in the banking hall, the hassles of doing same using your ATM card on

the ATM machine, and also when you have no internet data connection to

do same through mobile or internet banking. The good thing about this

service is that it allows you to request for your first bank account

balance from any kind of phone by just dialing the USSD code even from

a "Nokia 3310" phone.



No Internet data connection of any kind is required and the best of

all, it is 100% FREE.

The service is exclusive to First Bank Nigeria customers who have

registered for SMS alert service and can only work on the mobile

number/line linked with the first bank account number which you

receive transaction alerts on.



The service is available to customers on Etisalat, Glo, MTN and Airtel.

The USSD code once again to use to check you first bank account

balance for free at any time of the day is *894*00# or *894*your 10

digit account number#.



Hope you found this tutorial very useful.



Cheers!!!
