Kindly be informed that you can open an account without BVN by selecting the option “2” instead of “1” for the BVN in the account opening process.
However, you are required to visit the nearest branch and update/link your BVN before you can use the account.

There’s no cause for alarm yet.
You’ll have to visit any First bank branch nearest to you with the following documents:
1. Your valid id card ( Voters card, National I’d card, Driver’s License or international passport any of these can serve)
2. Go along with a utility bill not more than 3 months.
3. Probably a passport photo.
Visit the customer service on your arrival at the branch. Narrate your situation.
Your account will get to normal status almost immediately. Then you can transfer your fund.
Having done this, the account is good to go.
Do not be afraid your fund is safe.
