How to Link or Open a Fidelity Bank Account for the NIYEEDEP Program: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Nigeria Youth Economic Engagement and De-Radicalization Programme (NIYEEDEP) is an initiative aimed at empowering Nigerian youths through economic growth, nation-building, poverty alleviation, and security enhancement. Fidelity Bank Plc has partnered with NIYEEDEP to facilitate the program by providing banking services to participants.

To participate in NIYEEDEP, you must have a Fidelity Bank account linked to your NIYEEDEP profile. This guide provides a step-by-step process to open and link your Fidelity Bank account for the program.

Step 1: Prepare Your Bank Verification Number (BVN)

Your BVN (Bank Verification Number) is required to open a Fidelity Bank account.

• If you already have a BVN, ensure you have it handy.
• If you don’t know your BVN, dial *565*0# on the phone number linked to your existing bank account to retrieve it.

Step 2: Fill Out the Online Account Opening Form

You will need to provide the following details when filling out the Fidelity Bank account opening form:

• Full Name (as it appears on your BVN)
• Date of Birth
• Phone Number & Email Address
• Residential Address
• Occupation
• Next of Kin Details

Ensure that the information you provide matches your BVN records to avoid verification issues.

Step 3: Upload Required Documents

To complete the account opening process, you will need to upload clear copies of the following documents:

• Valid Identification (National ID, Driver’s License, International Passport, or Permanent Voter’s Card)
• Recent Utility Bill (not older than three months) for proof of address
• Passport Photograph

Make sure all uploaded documents are clear and legible for easy verification.

Step 4: Submit Your Application

• Carefully review all the information and documents you provided.
• If everything is accurate, submit your application.
• You will receive a confirmation message once your application is successfully submitted.

Step 5: Receive Your New Fidelity Bank Account Number

Once your application is processed and verified, you will receive your new Fidelity Bank account number via SMS or email.

This account number is crucial for completing your NIYEEDEP registration.

Step 6: Link Your Fidelity Bank Account to Your NIYEEDEP Profile

After receiving your new Fidelity Bank account number, you need to link it to your NIYEEDEP profile.

1. Log in to the NIYEEDEP registration portal.
2. Navigate to the section where you need to enter your bank account details.
3. Enter your new Fidelity Bank account number and submit.

This step ensures that you can receive financial benefits associated with the NIYEEDEP program.

Alternative Option: Visit a Fidelity Bank Branch

If you prefer in-person assistance or experience issues with the online process, visit the nearest Fidelity Bank branch to open your account.

• Bring all required documents mentioned earlier.
• A customer service representative will assist you with the process.
