Every year, thousands of Nigerians require Proof of Fund (POF) for different purposes — from studying abroad, securing immigration visas, to winning business contracts and tenders.
In all these cases, you must provide verifiable financial evidence that you have the required funds. But the process can be stressful, confusing, and time-sensitive.
That's where POF NG comes in. We provide legitimate, verifiable Proof of Fund and investment certificate documents tailored to your specific needs:
One of the most devastating reasons for a UK visa refusal is submitting your Proof of Funds from the wrong financial institution. If you search for "banks not accepted by UKVI in Nigeria" or ask "does UKVI accept microfinance banks?", you will find hundreds of panicked applicants who lost their visa fees simply because of their choice of bank.
The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) department is ruthless when it comes to financial verification. Here is what you need to know about banned banks, digital wallets, and the microfinance trap.

Are There Banks Not Accepted by UKVI in Nigeria?
Historically, the UKVI published a strict "banned list" of Nigerian banks they refused to accept due to high rates of fraud. While that specific public blacklist is no longer actively published, their internal policy remains incredibly strict: The UKVI will only accept statements from financial institutions that are fully regulated by the CBN and capable of satisfactory international verification.
This means that while a bank might not be explicitly "banned," it can still be deemed unacceptable by the visa officer reviewing your case.
Does UKVI Accept Microfinance Banks?
Technically, some large, CBN-licensed microfinance banks are accepted, but in reality, using a microfinance bank for UKVI is a massive risk.
Here is why UK visa officers frequently reject microfinance statements:
- Verification Failures: When the UK embassy emails a microfinance bank to verify a statement, they often receive no reply, or the reply takes weeks. If the UKVI cannot verify the funds, they refuse the visa.
- Credibility Issues: Visa officers know that many online POF scammers use obscure microfinance banks to generate fake PDF statements. Consequently, they view almost all microfinance statements with extreme suspicion.

Beware of Digital Wallets & Cooperative Societies
You must absolutely avoid using the following for your Proof of Funds:
- Digital-Only Wallets / FinTech Apps: Unless they hold a full commercial banking license, the UKVI will reject statements from mobile money apps or pure fintech wallets.
- Cooperative Societies: Funds held in community cooperative societies or credit unions are rarely accepted because they lack stringent international banking regulations.
