5 Nigerian Banking mobile apps you need to own
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

In conformity with the digital transformation sweeping across the financial sector, all Nigerian banks today have deployed mobile apps to enable their customers carry out transactions at any location they are without visiting a bank.

Directly from the apps, bank customers can make transfers and pay bills of any kind and also make complaints. Some of these apps come with upgraded features that allow users to request ATM cards and chequebooks.  

In an attempt to get the best for their customers, some of the banks are now having more than one app, even as they continue to update them with new features. The idea of multiple apps, though often creates confusion for some uninformed customers as to which is the real app for their bank at the point of download, gives customers a choice for the same bank.

The transaction successful receipt is beautifully designed and on the account setting, one can easily change his/her mPIN, change his/her nickname, synchronize your token to the app, change transaction PIN and carry out other operations. 

With its large customer base, it is not surprising that First Bank’s mobile app is one of the most-downloaded banking apps on Google Play Store. As of July 2022, the app has recorded over 5 million downloads on the Play Store. 


Zenith Bank (Zenith Bank Mobile) 

 

With its beautiful white and red interface background, the app requires users to input their account number and 6-digit passwords, before they can log in to their profiles on the app. Cheque and card request, funds transfer, self-transfer, airtime purchase, payment of bills, payment for hotel lodging and branch locator are some of the main features on the app.

Very easy to use, it offers you a simplified and streamlined access to all the bank’s products and services as well as the convenience to pay all kinds of bills, in one place. GTBank says the app is simple to use, secure and streamlined for its customers’ utmost convenience. 

Interestingly, GTBank launched another app, GTWorld in 2017, describing it as Nigeria’s first biometric mobile banking app. However, the older GTBank app remains the bank’s customers choice with over 5 million downloads as of July 2022.  


UBA Mobile Banking App  

UBA is one of the Nigerian banks with more than one mobile banking app. As with GTBank the old UBA mobile app is getting more downloads than the new.  The UBA mobile banking app helps you to easily make money transfers, buy airtime and pay bills.

    Wow, Access Bank didn’t make the list and behind Ecobank in this metrics. This number also shows the landscape of technology awareness driven by the bank about their app products.
