How to Activate GTB Online Banking

Like I observed earlier, to have access to the awesome benefits of GTB online banking, you must have an existing account with the bank and have access to the Internet.

But if you don’t have an account yet, you need to visit a GTB branch and open a domiciliary account. To achieve this, follow in the steps:

• Download the form online at gtbank.com
• Submit to the nearest GTB branch close to you or scan and submit it online at internetbanking@gtbank.com
• Contact GTConnect (GTB Contact Center) to obtain your log in details (username and password) or visit the bank for it to be spooled and given to you.
• Apply for a token to enable you carry out the online banking faster.
• After receiving your login details – visit https:ibank.gtbank.com/ibank3/login.aspx and type your password (issued by Guaranty Trust Bank Plc). This step should log you into a GTB online platform. Remember to keep your log in details secret like your ATM PIN.

Tokens help to authenticate online transactions to provide even more secure platform for such transactions to take place.

A GTB token is an oval device programmed to randomly generate TAN (Transaction Authentication Numbers) to secure transactions.

Tokens are tied to individual accounts, and when the account holder wishes to carry out transactions he or she will be required to press a button on the token to automatically generate figures which the bank is familiar with.

Most online transactions like online shopping cannot take place without the token because they give a surer security to the transactions as they happen.

GTBank doesn’t issue their tokens for free as they cost about N3,000 only after an account has been properly profiled online.

To activate GTB token, you have to visit a nearest branch and have a Customer Information Officer register it for you.

After the registration, you will get an email containing your username (user ID) and password. They are the details you need to access to account online.
