List of banks in Nigeria, official websites and branches

This article is about the updated List of banks in Nigeria,  their official websites, media links and branches. Thanks to the activities of the CBN, the number of banks has been reduced to about 25 and the few remaining ones are very strong and viable. The CBN ensured those banks that had no solid financial foundation were struck out. This was the factor that led to merging among banks some years ago.

The List of banks in Nigeria  are of different types. Some of them are commercial banks with license for national operation.  There are others too that are approved by the CBN to operate commercial banking license with international authorization.

Aside from those ones, there are also banks that are given commercial banking license with regional authorization by the CBN. Jaiz bank is the only bank in Nigeria having non-interest banking license with national authorization. Some banks are having merchant banking license with national authorization, while some other financial institutions are operating as financial holding companies in Nigeria.

List of banks in Nigeria, official websites and media links

We also compiled a list of Nigerian banks and their official websites and media links including facebook, twitter, websites and the branches they have across Nigeria.

One of the many ways bank customers got defrauded on the internet is processing a transaction on a cloned website disguised as the banks’ official websites. These cloned websites often times take further steps by sending fake emails to unsuspecting customers and in the process have access to their internet banking credentials.

For this purpose we have decided to compile a list of Nigerian banks and their verified official websites, their official facebook page and their twitter handle. With these information, bank customers can get any information first hand from their banks’ website and social media link.
