Fidelity Bank Plc has told customers to urgently link their Tax ID or National Identity Number to their accounts ahead of the Nigerian Tax Administration Act (NTAA) 2025 deadline. In an email update, the bank said, “This Act would come into effect on January 1, 2026,” adding that accounts without a Tax ID or NIN may be restricted from transacting from that date.
The bank explained that the NTAA 2025 requires all bank accounts in Nigeria to be linked to a valid Tax ID, or a NIN for customers who do not have a Tax ID. Fidelity Bank urged customers to act quickly, saying the update is necessary to keep accounts accessible and avoid disruptions to banking and digital payments.
Customers can submit their NIN through the link provided in the email, by dialing 77002#, or by visiting any Fidelity Bank branch. Enquiries can be directed to Fidelity Trueserve via phone or email.
