First Bank of Nigeria Limited (FirstBank), Nigeria’s premier financial inclusion services provider, has unveiled the Verve Flash Promo, a new customer reward campaign offering free Verve debit cards to its customers.
The initiative, which began on 6 October 2025, will run until 30 January 2026, and is exclusively targeted at FirstBank customers whose ATM cards have expired.
Under the campaign, 131 customers across the bank’s nationwide branches will receive free Verve cards daily on a first-come, first-served basis — a gesture marking the bank’s 131 years of operation in Nigeria.
Speaking on the initiative, Chuma Ezirim, Group Executive, e-Business and Retail Products at FirstBank, said the Verve Flash Promo reflects the bank’s ongoing commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
“The Verve Flash Promo is not just about rewarding customers with free Verve debit cards; it is about celebrating our legacy of 131 years of trust, resilience, and innovation in the Nigerian financial services industry.
At FirstBank, we remain committed to providing customer-centric solutions that enable secure, seamless, and convenient payment experiences. Partnering with Verve International on these initiatives, including the Verve Good Life promo, underscores our shared vision of deepening financial inclusion while rewarding our loyal customers for their continuous patronage,” Ezirim said.
Also speaking, Vincent Ogbunude, Managing Director of Verve International, highlighted the importance of the partnership in expanding access to digital payment solutions across Nigeria.
“Through strategic collaborations like this with FirstBank, we continue to demonstrate Verve’s commitment to enhancing access to seamless payment solutions for every Nigerian.
The Verve Flash Promo not only rewards loyal customers but also reinforces our vision of making everyday transactions more rewarding, secure, and convenient,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the ongoing Verve Good Life Promo—which rewards Verve debit cardholders for transactions made at select merchant outlets—has been extended to 30 November 2025.
During the promo period, Verve cardholders will enjoy 10% cashback at The Place Restaurant, Quickteller, Buypower, Filmhouse, AlliExpress, Addide Supermarkets, and Chowdeck app every Thursday to Sunday.
Additionally, cardholders now enjoy 10% cashback on Google Play Store purchases any day of the week throughout the campaign. Every transaction made using a Verve card—whether on ATMs, POS terminals, or online platforms—also earns customers a chance to win up to ₦1,000,000.
The dual campaigns underscore FirstBank and Verve International’s shared goal of driving financial inclusion, rewarding loyalty, and enhancing the digital payment experience for millions of Nigerians.
