Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I haven’t received any message from Fidelity Bank. What should I do?

Check the phone number linked to your BVN. If you’ve not been contacted, it may be due to incomplete application or delays in the process. Make sure you’re fully registered and monitor messages closely.

Is registration still ongoing?

Yes, the registration portal is still open. You can register via yeidep.org/register.php.

I got a Fidelity account number but no OTP. Why?

You must use the SIM card registered with your BVN. Without it, the OTP needed to verify your identity won’t be delivered.

Why do I need to deposit ₦2,000?

This helps activate the new account and shows readiness for financial transactions. Inactive accounts may be disqualified.

What happens if I skip the KYC?

Skipping the KYC means your account remains limited. You won’t be able to receive funds until it’s upgraded and verified.

How can I know when disbursement starts?

Keep checking your Fidelity Bank SMS alerts or app. Also, regularly log in to the YEIDEP portal to track updates.
