Firstmonie wallet Registration Requirements
- Mobile Phone: Registration can be done using any kind of mobile device
- Active Mobile Number: You need to have a registered and active phone number as this would be the account for your Wallet
- Data for the mobile app registration. You would require data to download the App from Play Store or IOS store and complete your registration
- Airtime for USSD registration – Airtime as low as N4 is requested for session cost on USSD registration
How to create Firstmonie Wallet account
To join Firstmonie and have access to First bank’s exciting features, you will need to download the app from either the Google Play Store or iOS app store, or you dial *894*1# and follow the quick easy steps to create your wallet account. All you need is your phone number.
You can create a Firstmonie Wallet account without BVN and start transacting on your account which can have a balance as high as ₦300,000
If you already have an old wallet, you will need to re-register and a new wallet would be opened for you. However, if you have money on the old funds which you wish to claim, you’ll have to visit the nearest FirstBank branch.
And you don’t need to register on the mobile app and USSD separately, just one channel suffice. You can then use the 5-digit PIN created to access the two channels (USSD and Mobile App).
Remember that your Firstmonie Wallet account is the mobile number you registered with.
And if as a customer you can’t download the mobile app or you are being told “App not installed”, try and check if you have enough space (internal memory) on your device or you dial the USSD alternative channel. If you still can’t download the app, write to firstcontact@firstbanknigeria.com
Basically, that’s all on how to register for Firstmonie wallet, but let’s see some other vital information.
How to deposit into FirstBank wallet
After you’ve known how to register for Firstmonie wallet, it’s only normal that you know how you can put money in it. Funding from your FirstBank account is free but if you are funding your wallet from a debit card, it costs 1% on the amount while an agent location has three charges depending on the amount deposited. You can fund your wallet from a debit card of any Bank, from a FirstBank account, with any active Firstmonie Wallet or at any Firstmonie Agent location close to you.
How to withdraw money from Firstmonie Wallet
If it is cash you wish to withdraw from your wallet, you need to go to any Firstmonie Agent Location near you or transfer the money to any bank account in Nigeria.
How to change Firstmonie PIN?

Firstmonie Virtual Card
For those interested in the First Bank Virtual card, you’ll have to request it directly from the Firstmonie Wallet application.
You don’t need to visit any branch to activate the virtual card. The moment you’ve purchased the card, you will see a prompt for activation. Simply select Yes and you have an active virtual card. You can only have one card per account and its life span is for three years.
Virtual cards issued on the Firstmonie Wallet app are not linked to your account but to your wallet account. And you can use the card on any channel to carry out seamless transactions online.
Unfortunately, you can’t link the Virtual card to your physical card, but you can later convert it to a physical card.
The Virtual card costs ₦215 (VAT inclusive) and there is no monthly maintenance fee.
It can be used up to 20 times on the Web daily. Regrettably again, the Cards requested on the Firstmonie App cannot be used for International transactions only local. Transactions on local Websites are free.
Transaction limits are the same thing that applies to all transactions on the wallet platform.
The card is hosted on the Firstmonie Wallet platform and can be used to carry out financial transactions by following the steps below:
- Log into the Firstmonie Wallet application
- Select Virtual cards
- Click on the eye icon/ Card PAN on the virtual card
