While going, have all the requirements stated above so that there won’t be any need for you to go and return, especially in this lockdown.

I do prefer to speaking with the customer service agent face to face when it comes to financial investment.

Would inquire about their tenors, rates and all other things.

You can even negotiate with the bank based on the interest rate as ask further questions if you’re confused in the process.

However, investing through online won’t give you the chance to speak with the customer service and to ask questions, unless you contact their helpline.

And i want you to know that not all bankers working in a bank knows everything when it comes to investment.

Each banker has it’s own area of specialization and you may call the customer service representative and you’ll be redirected to Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Limited .

    • Wrong place to ask such question, this is about mutual funds and not bvn. Nevertheless, you will have to go to the bank with your ID to change the phone number linked to your bvn.
