HOW TO CHECK YOUR BVN USING YOUR MOBILE PHONE

BVN stands for Bank Verification Number. In line with directives from the Central Bank of Nigeria, a 10 digit number for identifying each customer has been implemented to eschew fraudulent activities and enhance strict monitoring of financial activities in the country. A customer with more than one bank account can register for his/her BVN in a particular Bank and is then mandated to link his BVN upon reception to other Bank accounts if he patronizes different banks. For Mobile phone users who have registered, getting your BVN number is as easy as dialing a short code. DialUSSD code *565*0# to view your BVN with the same phone number used for registration.
