If you're seeking to check your BVN on Airtel, you're in luck. We'll guide you through the process, eliminating the need to visit your bank for this information.
BVN, or bank verification number, is a unique 11-digit identifier assigned to each bank user. It's exclusively yours, ensuring security and accuracy in banking transactions. Here's how you can check your BVN on Airtel in just a few seconds.
BVN Check Code
Here's a convenient way for Airtel users and others in Nigeria to check their BVN using a unique code recognized by all banks and network providers in the country.
Before using this code, ensure your Airtel line is linked to your bank account, as Airtel will retrieve your BVN from the linked account. If your bank account isn't linked to your Airtel line, you won't be able to use this code to check your BVN.
To use the BVN check code:
- Open your phone app (the app used for dialing numbers).
- Dial *565*0# and send.
- Your BVN will be sent to your phone.
- Capture a screenshot for future reference and copy it to a secure location to avoid repeating the process.
- Please note that checking your BVN using this code incurs a charge of N20. Each time you use this code, N20 will be deducted from your airtime balance.
How to Check BVN without Airtime
Here's how to check BVN details online using your bank's mobile app:
- Download the Bank's Mobile App: If you haven't already, visit the Google Play Store and download your bank's mobile app onto your smartphone.
- Installation and Setup: After downloading, install the app and follow the setup instructions. You'll need to provide the necessary details to register your account on the app.
- Access the App: Once the app is set up, open it on your smartphone. Ensure you have an active internet connection, which you can access through your Airtel line.
- BVN Check: Within the app, navigate to the section or feature that allows you to view your BVN details. This might be labeled as "BVN Inquiry" or something similar.
- View BVN Details: Upon accessing the BVN inquiry section, your BVN details should be displayed on the screen. Take note of your BVN or save it for future reference.
By following these steps, you can check your BVN details online using your bank's mobile app, even without airtime.
