BVN Inquiries

BVN can be retrieved instantly by dialling *565*0# using the phone number linked to your BVN when it was registered. The service works across all Nigerian banks and attracts a ₦20 network charge.

How it works

1. Use the mobile number registered with your bank. 
2. Dial *565*0# on your phone.
3. Your BVN will be displayed on the screen (or sent via SMS).Important notes

• The code is compatible with all Nigerian banks.
• A small network/service fee (usually around ₦20) may be deducted.
• Your SIM must be active and have sufficient airtime.
• If you have multiple bank accounts, the BVN shown is the same for all of them.

If it doesn’t work

• Ensure you’re dialling from the registered phone number.
• Try again in an area with good network coverage.
• If the issue persists, visit your bank branch with a valid ID.
