There’s a new, faster and better way to link your bank account with your BVN without direct visit to banking hall.
The Bank Verification Number commonly called BVN is a biometric identification system implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria to curb or reduce illegal banking transactions in Nigeria. It is a modern security measure in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria Act 1958 to reduce fraud in the banking system.
So it's mandatory that you have a BVN account if you want to open a bank account or perform transactions in Nigeria. You are required to have a unique BVN Number which must be linked to all your bank accounts to avoid restrictions or similar scenerios.
However, some Nigerians are not yet aware that linking, validating and updating BVN can be simply done at the comfort of their room, office or working place. Follow below steps to achieve this without wasting time.
