Can i open a new uba account with my bvn

According to UBA's official website, you can open a new UBA account using your BVN (Bank Verification Number). Here's how:

  1. Visit a UBA branch: You can visit any UBA branch near you with your BVN and a valid means of identification (such as a passport, driver's license, or national ID card).
  2. Fill out the application form: The bank representative will guide you through the process and provide you with an application form. Fill out the form accurately and completely.
  3. Provide required documents: In addition to your BVN, you'll need to provide other required documents, such as:
    • A valid means of identification (as mentioned earlier)
    • Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, lease agreement, or bank statement)
    • Proof of income (e.g., salary slip, pension statement, or business registration certificate)
  4. Verify your BVN: The bank representative will verify your BVN to confirm your identity and ensure that it's linked to your existing bank accounts (if any).
  5. Open your new account: Once your BVN is verified, you can open your new UBA account. You'll need to choose an account type (e.g., savings, current, or domiciliary account) and provide the required initial deposit (if applicable).
  6. Activate your account: After opening your account, you'll need to activate it by performing a few transactions, such as depositing or withdrawing funds.

Please note that the specific requirements and process may vary depending on your location and the UBA branch you visit. It's always a good idea to call the bank or visit their website to confirm the requirements before visiting a branch.

Additionally, you can also open a UBA account online using your BVN, but you'll need to provide additional documentation and proof of identity.
