Zenith, GTB, and 22 Other Commercial Banks' Genuine Customer Care Phone Numbers, Emails for Complaints

  • The Central Bank of Nigeria's drive to ensure more Nigerians use electronic channels for transactions has led to a rise in customer complaints

  • Legit.ng has provided a comprehensive list of all commercial banks' contact details, including Zenith and GTB, in case there is a need to make a complaint

According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), there are 24 licensed commercial banks operating in the country.

The banks, along with other financial institutions, are responsible for managing over 192 million accounts, a number that exceeds the population of many African countries.
