FAQs
Q: Is online banking secure?
A: The security of your account is our top priority. Our online banking site is encrypted and is accessed through your secret login number and pin. In addition to encryption and access control, you can set up controls that allow limited access to certain employees e.g. view-only, beneficiary loading and payment submission. Always practice safe online banking, never access your bank account via an emailed link, and never share your details with anyone electronically or telephonically, even if they claim to be from Access Bank.
Q: How do I sign up for an online business banking account?
A: Once you’ve opened an Access Bank account, you can select the internet banking login option and sign up as a new user. Complete the enrolment application form and submit. We will validate your details against the information we have on record, for your security. After successful registration, your relationship manager will let you know when your pin is ready and arrange to get it to you.
Q: Does online banking save money?
A: Yes – viewing your balances and downloading statements are free services. You will only be charged a monthly subscription fee once you’ve registered. After that, fees are payable as you transact. You can view the applicable fees in our pricing guide here.
Q: What other electronic banking services does Access Bank offer?
A: Our Commercial Payment System is specifically designed to cater for your business’s bulk/batch payments and collections requirements. This online system provides you with a complete database of the payment history of all your transactions. Like online banking, beneficiaries are created and stored on the system for payment. The system validates the beneficiary account numbers and branch codes while looking for duplicate transactions within the same batch. Once information is verified and authorised by you, it’s uploaded to Access Bank for distribution into the various beneficiary accounts. This system provides an audit trail of transactions plus an invoice for the service fees and details of the funding account.
To access it, you’ll be charged a monthly subscription fee after having registered. After that, fees are payable as you transact. You can view the applicable fees in our pricing guide here.
