Wait for This Important SMS
Before opening any bank account, ensure you first receive this official message:
“Dear Valued Customer, your YEIDEP registration was successful. Kindly visit [link] to open an account.”
This SMS confirms that your YEIDEP registration went through and provides the correct link for opening a YEIDEP partner bank account.
Follow These 5 Steps for Your YEIDEP Grant
To secure your grant and avoid mistakes, follow these steps in order:
Step 1 – Complete Your Registration
Register for YEIDEP successfully through the official portal or channels provided.
Step 2 – Wait for Your Account Opening SMS
Don’t rush to open a bank account. Wait for the SMS with the official link for YEIDEP account opening.
Step 3 – Open Your YEIDEP Account via the Link
Click the link provided in the SMS. Complete the online process to open your YEIDEP partner bank account.
Step 4 – Fund Your Account to Keep It Active
Deposit funds into your new YEIDEP account to activate and keep it operational.
Step 5 – Upgrade Your Account from Tier 1 to Tier 3
Follow the bank’s process to upgrade your account tier. Higher tiers often allow higher transaction limits and smoother disbursement processing.
Important Note
If you skip these steps and simply open a regular bank account on your own, you’re only opening a personal account, not a YEIDEP partner bank account. This could disqualify you from receiving the YEIDEP grant funds.
