List of Approved Banks for UK Visa in Nigeria (UKVI Accepted 2026)

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:

When applying for a UK Student, Skilled Worker, or Visitor Visa from Nigeria, using the right financial institution for your Proof of Funds (POF) is critical. A frequent search on Google is: "What is the list of approved banks for UK visa in Nigeria?"

If you submit a bank statement from a financial institution that the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) department does not trust, your visa will be refused immediately.

The UKVI Approved Bank List for Student Visas & Workers

In the past, the UKVI maintained a strict public list of "banned" and "approved" Nigerian banks. Today, their policy is broader but still incredibly strict: The UKVI only accepts bank statements from financial institutions fully regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) that offer reliable, international verification.

To guarantee your visa is approved, you should only use established Tier-1 Commercial Banks. Here is the unofficial but highly trusted list of banks accepted by UKVI:

  • Globus Bank (Highly recommended for fast POF processing)
  • Parallex Bank (Excellent for digital verification)
  • Zenith Bank
  • Fidelity Bank
  • Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB)
  • Access Bank
  • United Bank for Africa (UBA)
  • First Bank of Nigeria
  • Stanbic IBTC
  • Providus Bank

Why You Should Avoid Microfinance Banks

While some microfinance banks are licensed by the CBN, they often struggle with international verification. Many UKVI officers view microfinance statements with high suspicion, leading to delayed processing or outright refusal under the "credibility" clause. Always stick to the commercial banks listed above.

Stop risking your UK Visa approval with unrecognized banks! Proof of Fund NG provides 100% verifiable bank statements from UKVI-approved commercial banks. Call: 08103669924 | WhatsApp: Message us now
