This article on the names of old banks in Nigeria will answer questions such as what are the names of banks in Nigeria? How many banks did Nigeria have? Which bank is FirstBank in Nigeria? Which is the oldest bank?

Only banks that no longer exist in Nigeria will be outlined in this article. So when I intended to write on names of old banks in Nigeria I didn’t mean to list banks that have existed the longest in the country.

Any banks’ name mentioned here is either have been merged or suffered outright defunct.
