Your card would be ready for pick up at your pre-selected branch within 5 working days if you used the “self-authentication” method while completing your card request.

For “branch authentication” method, you would need to visit any FirstBank branch with your “reference ID” (generated after submission) to complete your card request.

Note: The branch will have an initiator and a verifier created on Expressions platform for branch authentication.  This should be logged against Internal Control/ eBusiness User Creation/ Expressions

• What format does my image need to be in and is there any size restriction?

You can upload images in JPEG (.jpg), ONG, GIF, Bitmap (.bmp) or TIFF format.
We recommend image size of 10 megabytes. If you use a low resolution photo, the image on your card may look blurry when it is printed.

• Can I put any image on my card, for example a political figure or a celebrity?

No. There are some types of images that are not acceptable. Please refer to our “Image Guidelines” on https://expressions.firstbanknigeria.com/ImageGuidelines.aspx for more details.

• Can I upload an image of my family or friends?

Yes, provided you have their permission to do so.

• Can I see what my card would look like before my request is processed?

Yes, you would be given the option to preview the final look of your card design on your device screen. You can adjust the picture layout on the card or select a completely new image.

Your card would be ready for pick up within 5 business days after completion of your card request. When you pick your new card, please ensure you activate it by selecting your preferred PIN (Personal Identification Number) on the ‘Customer PIN Selection Machine’ at our customer service desk before leaving the branch.
