Have you been asked to provide your BVN while trying to complete a transaction in Zenith bank, but you can’t find or remember where you wrote it down? Here is how you can check your Zenith bank BVN online.
The Bank Verification Number, popularly known as BVN for short, was introduced to check identity theft and fraudulent transactions in the banking system.
To this end, it has become a compulsory requirement when handling transactions involving banking systems. If you need to set up an account, your BVN will be required. Without it, the account cannot be used.
This 11-digit number serves as your identity across multiple bank accounts. It links multiple accounts owned by the same person together.
So if you were to create an account with another bank, you would be required to provide your BVN to link the new account to you.
The easiest and most convenient way to check your BVN is to dial the unique USSD code for BVN. Just by dialing *565*0# on your phone, you can get your BVN sent to you as a text message for just a fee just above N20.
However, one issue persists regardless. You have to dial the USSD code with the phone number registered to your BVN to get your BVN this way.
