You know that moment when you're filling out a form or trying to access a bank service, and suddenly they ask for your BVN, and you have no idea where you saved it? You're not alone.

The Bank Verification Number (BVN) is an 11-digit unique ID issued by Nigerian banks to link your accounts and protect you from fraud. It's essential for everything from opening a new account to confirming your identity for online banking. Luckily, you don’t need to visit a bank branch or search through old documents to retrieve it. You can check your BVN right on your mobile phone in seconds, even without internet access.

💡
You can only use the phone number that is linked to your BVN.

How to Check Your BVN on Your Mobile Phone

Step 1: Open the phone app on your mobile phone.

Step 2: Dial *565*0#.

Step 3: You’ll be prompted to enter your date of birth.

Step 4: After you enter your date of birth, you’ll see your BVN.

Conclusion

Knowing how to check your BVN on your phone saves you time, stress, and unnecessary trips to the bank. Whether you're registering for a new financial service or simply need to verify your identity, having quick access to your BVN keeps things running smoothly. Just remember, never share your BVN carelessly, as it's tied to sensitive banking details. Use it wisely and keep it secure.
