Several Nigerian banks, including Access Bank, Zenith Bank, UBA, Fidelity Bank, and Ecobank, have issued a fresh directive to customers to link their National Identification Number (NIN) and Tax Identification Number (TIN) to their bank accounts by January 1, 2026. Failure to comply will result in restrictions or account blocks.
The move is in line with the Nigerian Tax Administration Act 2025, aimed at improving tax compliance and collection in Nigeria. Customers are urged to update their information through various channels provided by the banks.
