Are you looking for how to check your BVN Number on your mobile phone without having to visit your bank’s branch? Do you need to retrieve or know your BVN number with your mobile device using a USSD code?

Has a transaction been halted on your account because you’ve refused to update your bank account with your BVN (Bank Verification Number) or you can’t transfer nor carry out certain online transactions due to BVN reasons?

With the increased rate of compromising bank security systems using passwords, PINs and OTP, there is definitely a high demand for extra security checks to secure private and personal details or transactions in the banking sector in Nigeria, and that’s why BVN is the answer to that problem.

On February 14, 2014, The Central Bank of Nigeria through the Banker’ Committee and in collaboration with all banks in Nigeria launched a centralized biometric identification system for the banking industry tagged Bank Verification Number (BVN).

Benefits of BVN in Nigeria

  • BVN gives a unique identity that can be verified across the Nigerian Banking Industry (not peculiar to one Bank).
  • Customers’ Bank Accounts are protected from unauthorized access.
  • It will address issues of identity theft, thus cutting exposure to fraud.
  • The BVN will enhance the Banking Industry’s chances of being able to fish out blacklisted customers.
  • Reduce queues in Banking Halls.
  • Standardized efficiency of Banking operations.
  • The customer’s unique BVN is accepted as a means of identification across all Nigerian Banks.

With the instant BVN query service, you can now query your BVN on your mobile phone without going through the hassle of visiting a bank or ATM.

In this post on Naijaknowhow, I will show you how you can check BVN (Bank Verification Number) directly on your mobile device or how to know your BVN Number using the USSD code directly on any mobile phone with or without internet.
