Why This Matters
One of the major requirements for the YEAIDEP application is to have a valid bank account that matches your personal details (especially BVN). Without this, your application could be delayed or rejected. Fidelity Bank’s online platform makes this process simple, fast, and secure.

Ensure all details are accurate and match your YEAIDEP registration information.
Step 4: Upload Required Documents (if prompted)
You may need to upload:

Some applications may skip this step temporarily and request it later during verification.
Step 5: Submit Your Application
- Review all the information you entered
- Click “Submit”
- If successful, you’ll receive a Fidelity Bank account number via SMS or email

Any mismatch between your Fidelity account and YEAIDEP details can lead to disqualification or payment delays.
