Can Same BVN Be Used For An Account Holder With Different Account Names? by bjhere2009(m): 10:16am On Jun 21, 2015
I happen to have an account I opened with my drivers license and international passport respectively. Both have different names but are still my names as my names are too long and some were omitted during the processing of my drivers license.
Can I use one BVN to update both accounts or will it be a problem to have different bvn on both accounts?
Please bankers should help clarify this before I put myself into trouble or maybe it's best to have one of the accounts closed?

Yes,

It's a single BVN enrolment per person irrespective of the number of accounts one has.

Assuming you have three different accounts with three different banks, say personal account with First bank, a corporate account with Zenith(of which you are one of the signatories) and maybe another account say in your maiden name with GTB, all you need do is register BVN on one of the accounts and take your BVN no to other banks for BVN update. Shikena

You are good to go.

My case is quite different from what you have just explained. Here I have 2 different names in 2 two different banks eg; John T. Orji (first bank ) and Johnson Timothy (diamond bank). Can the same bvn work in this case?

Yes it will work, just do one registration and take the no to the other bank for update.

However, you might need to get an affidavit to confirm that the other name is you also, so as to avoid any issue in the future.

Can't I just enroll for a separate bvn to cut the story short? That's different bvn for the separate accounts.
Will they ever know despite the thumb printing done? Maybe the machine will not dictate the double enrollment?

No, you don't do double registration Bros, just take your no to the other bank and ask fill a BVN update form, that's all.
It's not even as tasking as a new registration. You may not need to write your name exactly as it is in the other bank.

Very correct, and it's a criminal offence.

Unless one has something to hide

Urgent reply needed.

Please I need a banker or any1 with an answer to clarify me on this.... Is it possible for someone else who has my BVN to walk into a bank and open an account with my name but with his own picture and also link up the account using my own BVN?? Isn't the bank suppose to detect that the image on the BVN is different from that of the person presenting the BVN for link up?
