*2026-07-23, version 2.11.8*

You should better fire all your Developers and hire competent ones. How do you ship nonsense to a production app and call it maintenance. They need to learn how versioning. This is absolutely stupid and incompetence coming from First Bank.

FirstBank, I don’t know WTH u guys are working on but Pleaseeee i need the mobile app working!! Its been two days! Why does it keep asking me to visit the AppStore for update, yet on AppStore there’s no new update!!

### 2/5 — A DISAPPOINTMENT

*2026-07-23, version 2.11.8*

For two days now I cannot open the app, I rebooted my phone, I updated my phone software I am still checking the app software update just to see if I can access my account yet nothing works. In a saner clime the Bank should have sent message notifying the customers of routine maintenance where applicable but nothing yet. This is utterly disappointing.

### 1/5 — DEVICE ACTIVATION ISSUES

*2026-08-06, version 2.11.10*

I am trying to activate a new device and it’s been a while since I used my mobile app but the method I’m trying to use to activate this new device using the BVN and face verification method, since I do not have a debit card, but even after inputting  my account number and BVN the next option loads perfectly well but after that I get this error message “No registered mobile user found”

### 1/5 — This believe me is the worst bank app you’ll ever use.

*2026-07-28, version 2.11.10*

Imagine being in a place where you need to make an urgent payment, your app won’t work and the USSD won’t either. All I can say is I don’t recommend using this bank.
