The truth is if dt savings account hs never in its entire life had a balance of N1Million, your account will be frozen until you can provide some documents and i.ds as requested by the bank. A single lodgement of 10m will definitly freeze d savings acct. Coz, cbn directive mandates d banks to inform dem of any single lodgement up to N5m on a savings, N10m on current i think. Seek advice frm ur bank b4 d transaction. Otherwise, d wahala dey go use u do lasan especially if na banks like first bank wey geh wahala 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Go with a valid ID and nepa bill to any branch of your bank , tell them you want to know the maximum capacity of your savings account , if it's below the amount you're expecting(mostly 500K)..tell them you want to upgrade the savings account to standard savings ...simple ,takes between 1 to 3 days to effect 3 Likes |

Though there is no limit to what can go into a savings account, the fear you allay is same with a current account. Once there is a sudden boom in an account balance, whether savings or current, such account would be placed on PND and the source of the fund queried. However, I can also advise that you migrate your account to a current account by just providing two reference letter if you are not comfortable having huge balances in the savings account. andersonbaba: |

andersonbaba: I do not think that there will be any problem whatsoever .. you can either ask the person paying to send it in two instalments or notify your account officer. Those are the two sure solutions. I've had similar encounter in the past and all I did was scream at the branch manager basically because I'm a uniform man . What worked for me might not work for you though. jah bless 3 Likes |

It depends on the type of account, and if u use proper valid ID CARD for the account opening u can deposit more the 50 million. But u will be asked where the source of fund come from for records purpose if it's gotten tru money laundering or something related to that. But maximum single deposits for a savings account is 5 MILLION (i.e if a lodgement is made that exceeds that amout ur account will be flagged for SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTION REPORT). Also u can't withdraw more than 500k over the counter,but if u insist additional charge will be deducted from ur account. But u can do internet banking or mobile banking to third party account holder. I hope dis help. 6 Likes |

First u need to know the difference between the savings accounts available and how they operate. Then you must be sure that the money entering has a valid source and with that no cause for alarm. But note the following; * Any amount above 1 million entering a savings account will require the bank to notify EFCC or likes according to NFIU rules. That doesn't mean EFCC will arrest you or call you, it is just the standard procedure. * A student savings account cannot hold that amount of money without it be frozen. In that case, you need an upgrade to a standard savings account to be able to withdraw such huge amount in the account. * Fear not if you can defend the source of the money but you will surely meet some little delays sha. * Google the bank in question and discuss with their online customer care the concerns you have or visit any of their branches to discuss the issue before deposit is made. Be blessed. 4 Likes |

Dear OP, If your account was opened with a valid ID card (voters card,International Passport, Drivers License, National ID) and a valid utility bill such as PHCN bill, waste bill, etc you can lodge/withdraw/operate your account without fear.....also if the source of inflow is not from any illicit criminal activity like kidnapping, armed robbery and other related activities you have nothing to fear... However, if you do not have a valid id and utility bill uploaded on your account then the bank is expected to throw you to the wolves if your account receives any unusual and unexplained inflow! 5 Likes 1 Share |

andersonbaba:Please your friend should visit his bank and ask. Savings accounts come in different variants. Of course he will have no query if he opened his account with a valid means of identification and utility bill. 10million is too small sef lol. Such accounts can have any amount 1 Like |

@OP there is no issue especially if transactions on the account have been at that level. The worst is they will place a No debit order on the account but its easy to resolve at any bank branch once you answer a few questions. Had a similar issue in 2013 and it was resolved immediately. You have no reason to worry so long as the money is not from 419. 1 Like |
