Unity Bank has transitioned into ProvidusUnity Bank. Use this guide to confirm the current app, web, branch or support route, protect an account during the migration and avoid unverified claims that the old *7799# shortcut remains active.
Unity Bank has transitioned into ProvidusUnity Bank. This page does not describe the former *7799# string as an active present-day service because it is not published as a current code on the bank’s public website. Start from ProvidusUnity’s official website, official app listing, branch or verified support details.
Current position
| Situation | Safe starting point | Evidence to keep |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm digital access | ProvidusUnity official website | The official channel name and support reference |
| Old login is not recognised | Official support or branch | Account number and error time—never a PIN |
| Money was debited | Bank complaint channel | Amount, date, beneficiary and transaction reference |
| Phone or SIM is lost | Urgent bank and network support | Case numbers from both organisations |
First checks for a former Unity Bank customer
- Type the official ProvidusUnity domain into the browser or use the verified link above.
- Check which digital channel the bank currently publishes.
- Use the phone number held on the account.
- If the account is not recognised, stop repeated PIN resets.
- Ask official support whether the customer record, device or channel needs migration.
A brand and platform transition can change an app name, login process, support route or available service. An old search result cannot confirm the status of an individual account.
How to handle the former *7799# route
A code can remain in copied articles long after the responsible institution changes its service. Without current confirmation, it is safer to use the present official channel than to assume the historical code still controls the same account process.
If the old code produces a screen on a particular line, read the institution name and task carefully. Do not enter a PIN or authorise money merely because a menu opened. Confirm the service through ProvidusUnity before relying on it for a sensitive action.
Preparing for a branch or support review
Have the account number, registered phone number and a concise description of the problem. For a disputed transaction, add the date, time, amount, beneficiary name and reference. Ask what identity document the bank requires before travelling; do not email an unredacted identity document unless the bank directs you through a secure official process.
Write down the complaint reference and promised next step. If a support message asks for an OTP, card PIN, app password or remote access to your phone, end the conversation and restart from the official website.
Making a transfer after access is confirmed
Use only the channel confirmed by the bank. Enter the beneficiary details and wait for the receiving name to appear. Compare the name, bank, amount and fee before authorising. A familiar account number can still be mistyped, so do not skip the confirmation screen.
After submission, keep the bank’s reference and check the account activity. If the transaction is pending, do not immediately repeat it. A second attempt can create a duplicate debit and a more complicated complaint.
What to do after a failed or disputed payment
Report the transaction to ProvidusUnity first and provide the evidence requested without disclosing credentials. The Central Bank of Nigeria’s complaint guidance tells consumers to begin with the regulated financial institution. If the institution does not resolve the complaint within the applicable complaint period, the CBN explains how a consumer may escalate with evidence of the first report.
No website can guarantee a reversal or secretly move a complaint ahead. Avoid anyone requesting an advance “recovery fee” or impersonating the bank in a social-media reply.
Urgent protection after a lost phone or SIM
Contact the network to restrict or replace the SIM and contact the bank to secure digital access. Changing only a handset lock does not protect an account if another person controls the registered number. Review recent transactions and report anything unfamiliar with its exact time and amount.
