How to Open a Fidelity Bank Account Online for YEIDEP 2025 Batch B Registration

The Federal Government has reopened the Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalization Empowerment Programme (YEIDEP) portal for Batch B applications. One of the key requirements for registration is having a valid BVN-linked bank account for identity verification and fund disbursement. Fidelity Bank, known for its excellent digital banking services, is among the financial institutions approved for YEIDEP verification and payment.

If you are registering for YEIDEP 2025 and need a Fidelity Bank account, you can now open one online or by visiting the nearest branch. The process is simple, secure, and can be completed in a few minutes.

Step 1: Open a Fidelity Bank Account Online

5. Enter your details, including full name, phone number, email, and Bank Verification Number (BVN).
6. Upload a clear photo of your NIN slip or any other valid means of identification.
7. Review your information carefully and click Submit.

Once completed, your new Fidelity Bank account number will be sent to your phone or email. You can later visit any branch for biometric verification and to collect your ATM card.

Step 2: Open an Account Through the Fidelity Mobile App
You can also create your account using the Fidelity Mobile App, available on Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

Step 5: Link Your Account to YEIDEP
After your Fidelity Bank account is successfully created and verified, go to the official YEIDEP portal Fidelty Bank and complete your application. Enter your BVN and others in the required fields. Ensure the name on your account matches the name you used for your YEIDEP registration to avoid disqualification.

Important Tips:

• Make sure your BVN, name, and ID are the same across all documents.
• Do not pay anyone to “help” you open or verify your account.
• Keep your account details secure and check your SMS or email for updates from Fidelity Bank or YEIDEP.
• Deposit at least ₦1,000 to activate your account after creation.
