Frequently asked questions
What is Keystone Bank's sort code?
Each Keystone Bank branch has its own NIBSS sort code. The head office (Lagos) code is 082150017. For your specific branch, see the table below or confirm with your bank.
How do I find my branch's sort code?
The sort code is typically printed on your chequebook, your bank statement, or shown in the mobile banking app. You can also call your branch directly or check the official NIBSS directory.
What is a sort code used for?
The sort code identifies your specific BANK BRANCH in the national payments system. Combined with your account number, it lets other banks route payments to you correctly (salaries, transfers, bills). In Nigeria, the sort code is 9-digit (3-digit bank prefix + 6-digit branch identifier) (NIBSS).
What's the difference between sort code and account number?
Sort code identifies the BANK BRANCH; account number identifies YOUR personal account. For a NUBAN/GhIPSS transfer, you provide both: the recipient branch's sort code + the recipient's account number.
Is Keystone Bank's sort code the same as its USSD or SWIFT code?
No. The sort code (NIBSS, 9-digit) is for routing inside Nigeria. The USSD bank code (*7111#) is for mobile transactions from your phone. The SWIFT code is for INCOMING international wires. Three different codes, three different use cases.
