How to Open New Access Bank Account via Phone

HOW IT WORKS


  • To open the account using your mobile phone, simply dial *901*0#.



  • After dialing the code, you will be prompted to open the account using your BVN - Bank Verification Number or your Personal details. (Dial *565*0# to know your BVN)



  • Choose BVN or Personal details, respond to the remaining prompts correctly then wait for confirmation message containing your Access Bank account number. 


If you have your BVN with you i suggest you choose the BVN otherwise choose Personal details. Use of BVN makes it more easier.

NB: If you choose to use BVN for the account opening, it is better you dial the code on the mobile line that is registered on your BVN profile else you may get an error code stating that the records does not match.

What to do after getting your Account number

Your Access Bank account is ready for use as soon as you complete the process but you need to fully activate the account by going to the nearest Access bank branch with your Passport photograph and valid ID.

    1. Hi Unknown, that means you already have an account with access bank which is already associated with that phone number.

      However, to be sure, I will advise you go to the nearest Access bank branch to have them look into the issue
