How to Check Your BVN for All Nigerian Banks
Apart from that, i learnt you need to provide this number each time you want to make deposits as well as withdrawals from the bank and you and i know the brain is not always faithful at keeping track with our phone number not to talk of this 11 digit that is so difficult to memorize. However, MTN, Airtel and Etisalat (Glo is still loading... ) has made it easier for you and I to check our bank bvn using a ussd code.
Why Do We Need BVN Code
A BVN (bank verification number) code has become a crucial part of the Nigerian banking system, since it was made a must-have by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
With your secret 11 digit number, you can do anything from opening multiple bank accounts to securing those accounts from unauthorized access.
Your BVN code is important, and since it is something can only have one, you should keep it safe and never disclose it to anyone else or lose it.
However, If you have lost that piece of paper where you wrote your BVN, or need to access it immediately, there's an easier way for you to check your BVN code.
The code doesn't need internet connection to work. Its just a dial and your Bank verification number will be staring at you face to face on your mobile phone screen (even on nokia touch light phones).
So if you find it hard to move around with your diary where you have your bank verification number neatly written down, or simply can't locate the one you have saved on your phone book, memorize this code.
