About BVN

The Bank Verification Number (BVN) is an 11-digit number used to identify individuals across the Nigerian banking industry.

The BVN ensures greater security on access to sensitive and personal information in the banking system. It was launched by the Central Bank of Nigeria in collaboration with all Nigerian banks in 2014 to address payment security issues. Customers can enroll for their BVN at any of our branches.

  • Your biometric data (fingerprint, photograph and signature) will be captured on the system 
  • You will then receive a Ticket ID
