FirstBank PLC is one of the leading banks in Nigeria, established in 1894. Due to improvements in Nigerian banking sector, FirstBank has introduced instant recharge that enables all individual account holders to buy airtime directly from their bank account. It is a great move because you can do it very easy from the comfort of your office, workshop or home. A times, recharge card sellers may not be around; you can use this method to top up your airtime balance. Meanwhile some time ago, I posted how to perform Fidelity instant recharge that you can also read it on how to buy airtime from Fidelity bank account.
