Fidelity Bank charges 2026: ATM, transfer, card and USSD
Verified 2026-07-03 · CBN Guide to Charges (no own tariff PDF)
How much does Fidelity charge for transfers and ATM?
Fidelity's regulated charges follow the CBN Guide, which standardises them across Nigerian banks: transfers cost ₦10 / ₦25 / ₦50 by amount band, other-bank ATM is ₦100 per ₦20,000, and card maintenance is ₦0 on a current-account Naira card. What is specific to Fidelity is its USSD channel (*770#), since it does not publish its own consolidated tariff. Verified 2026-07-03.

Fidelity ATM, transfer and card charges (CBN schedule)
These regulated charges are set by the CBN Guide and are the same across banks — Fidelity applies them as the maximums below. The April 2026 CBN draft would change some, but is not yet law.

| ATM withdrawal — another bank (in Nigeria) | ₦100 per ₦20,000 (on-site); off-site adds a surcharge up to ₦500 |
| ATM withdrawal — international | Exact cost by the international acquirer (cost recovery) |
| Electronic transfer (NIP / instant) | ₦10 (≤₦5,000) · ₦25 (₦5,001–₦50,000) · ₦50 (over ₦50,000) |

What is the Fidelity Tier 1 account limit?
Nigerian bank accounts sit on the CBN 3-Tier KYC framework — a different regulation from the Guide to Charges, so no bank tariff PDF restates these. The specific limits have been revised and vary by source; confirm your current tier limit with your bank. Fidelity's own tariff document does not state KYC-tier limits — they are set by the CBN 3-Tier KYC framework. Historically Tier 1 capped single deposits around ₦50,000 and the balance around ₦300,000; confirm your current Fidelity tier limit in the app or at a branch.
