I'm assuming you're referring to the Bank Verification Number (BVN) in Nigeria. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to open a new BVN:
Method 1: Visit a Bank Branch
- Go to any branch of a participating bank in Nigeria. You can find a list of participating banks on the Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) website.

- Driver's License
- Voter's Card
- Fill out the BVN registration form, which will be provided by the bank.
- Provide your biometric data, including:
- Fingerprints
- Facial recognition
- Iris scan (for some banks)
- The bank representative will guide you through the registration process and ensure that your information is accurate.
- Once the registration is complete, you will receive a temporary BVN number, which will be sent to your phone via SMS.
- You can then use this temporary BVN number to access your account and perform transactions.
Method 2: Use the NIBSS BVN Mobile App
- Download and install the NIBSS BVN Mobile App from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Launch the app and select "Register for BVN" as the reason for using the app.
- Fill out the registration form, providing your personal and biometric data.
- Take a selfie and provide your fingerprints using the app's biometric authentication feature.
- Review and confirm your information before submitting the registration.
- Once the registration is complete, you will receive a temporary BVN number, which will be sent to your phone via SMS.
- You can then use this temporary BVN number to access your account and perform transactions.
Important Notes:
- You can only register for BVN once, so ensure that you provide accurate information.
- The BVN registration process is free, and you will not be charged any fees.
- The BVN is valid for 10 years, after which it will need to be renewed.
- You can check the status of your BVN registration on the NIBSS website or through the NIBSS BVN Mobile App.
Remember to always verify the authenticity of the bank or registration agent before proceeding with the BVN registration process.
