First Bank Internet Banking Transfer limit
The First Bank mobile app lets you do banking transactions online. You can use it to transfer money to other people. But, they set a limit on how much you can transfer each day. They call it Transfer Limits. It’s like a rule that says you can’t move more than a certain amount of money in one day.
First Bank made it easier for people to transfer money using their mobile app. They raised the limit on how much money you can move in one day. Before, you could only transfer up to N500,000 a day, but now you can transfer up to N1,000,000.
But here’s the thing: the amount of money you can transfer each day might be different depending on what type of account you have. For example, if you have a student account, the limit might not be the same as for other types of accounts.
Daily Transfer Limit for First Bank Savings Account
If you have a savings account with First Bank, the amount you can transfer each day depends on the type of account you have. There are two types: one for students and another for regular savings.
- For Student Accounts — You can transfer up to N100,000 per day.
- For Regular Savings Accounts — Whether you have a student account or a regular one, the daily transfer limit is still N100,000.
But if you’re using the First Bank mobile app for online transfers, customers with regular savings accounts can transfer more. Recently, the limit for these accounts was raised from N500,000 to N1,000,000, so now you can transfer bigger amounts with your First Bank mobile app.
Transfer Limit for First Bank Student account
The transfer limit for First Bank student accounts is like a money boundary you can’t go beyond. If you have a student account, you can’t send more than a hundred thousand naira (N100,000) in one day. If you try to send more, the transfer won’t go through.
But if you want to upgrade to the standard account, just go to the nearest bank branch. The staff there will help you upgrade it.
How to Increase First Bank Daily Transfer Limit
If you want to increase your First Bank daily transfer limit, go to the closest First Bank branch. Don’t forget to bring your debit card and any ID or papers showing you own the account.
Normally, if you have an active account, First Bank can raise your daily transfer limit to as much as N5,000,000. But with the First Bank mobile app, you can now transfer up to N1,000,000, up from the old limit of N500,000. This improvement is for users with standard accounts.
But remember, student accounts can’t handle big transfer amounts because they have limits. So, only standard accounts can do these larger transfers.
