Since CBN mandated all Banks to carry out BVN for their customers to help identify each customer easily, there are many things people still don’t know about BVN registration and how to check the BVN number which is attached to your account number.
Firstly let’s start from What is BVN
BVN stands for Bank Verification Number. It is a unique ID number which is issued to every Bank customer at enrolment and linked to every account that the customer has in ALL Nigerian Banks.
Individuals shall be required to submit an acceptable means of identification as prescribed for enrolment in any of the banks in which they operate. One person is only entitled to only one BVN as it is recorded with a fingerprint.
