I do not know what to say! Though UBA, Ecobank and GTbank have offices here in Nairobi but l bank with Fidelity

generalissimo:
The following are the requirements for the BVN are: (1) one he goat
(2) 4 pieces of kolanut
(3) a keg of palm oil
(4) 3 bottles of schnapp
carry all the items listed there with one passport

macuwon:
i use 5banks.. do i need to go and do it in all of them

moshoodn:
CBN and the banks will find away around it.

Most of these banks have foreign business offices anyway. These may be employed for data capturing.

Even besides that, they also have foreign bankers too ie Union bank foreign banker in the States is Citi Bank; so Citi may capture for union and send it over.

All these are speculations, though with a high degree of probability.

ummitoagirl:

The Point is the requirement of Nigerians living abroad to have to come down to Nigeria to get a BVN, mind you after 25th of June according to CBN you will not be able to operate your account (Bank) without having one

702:


You can not go to any bank branch to enroll. You must either be an existing account holder and go to that bank or be ready to open an account with another bank closer to you.

How would Bank customers Living outside Nigeria Enrol and get the Bank Verification number as mandated by the CETRAL BANK OF NIGERIA without which no one can transact business as a customer in any BANK in Nigeria from 25th of June 2015?
Answer: Bank customers living outside Nigeria would have to come back to the country to
enroll.

i think this is wrong, why should one have to travel all the way from United Kingdom, United state and other countries just to come and obtain BVN in Nigeria, is there no way the CBN can make it possible for Nigerians abroad to do this without having to travel all the way down bearing in mind that there is a short period of time before the DEADLINE??

As you may already be aware, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in conjunction with the Bankers Committee has launched the Biometric Identification Project to provide a single biometric database for all banks’ customers nationwide. Part of the requirements within this initiative is that customers enroll with their banks to get their unique Bank Verification Numbers (BVN), without which customers will not be able to transact in any bank after the deadline JUNE 25 2015.

oga 702, u don't argue blindly and always endeavour to find out the facts about things if u must contribute or counter other ppl's contributions. This is what I do for any walk-in customers on a daily basis irrespective of the bank they operate. Thanks.

702:


U seem not to understand me. If one has an account with a bank, he/she has to go to any branch of that bank. If he does not have any bank account in nigeria, he has to open an account before he/she enrolls. If he has multiple accounts in Nigeria, he can go to any of the banks he opened account with to enroll.
The term walk in customers are customers that do not have account in the bank they walked into and intend to open. You can not have an account with Zenith Bank and go to GTB where you don't have an account to enroll.

I hope this satisfies your enquiry.

SuperModerator:

give the other bank your BVN code.

Kachisbarbie:
emmmm
Maybe / maybe not


Are you sure, this mandate is from the CBN?
I don't think the CBN has given any final say on this issue.

There would definitely be a provision for the abroad based customers. Time is flying though - deadline approaching.

Enoquin:
I did mine in two banks instead of just one. The lady at the bank I first went to asked if I had done it at another bank. I told her no and asked what her question meant, she said it meant nothing.
Now, that I have two BVN nos, wetin I go come do, sell the other no?

Toladipo:



U can't have two BVN nos probably what you have with you now is just the ticket ID.

Amefrica:


I'm hoping so.

Kachisbarbie:


hahaha
Sorry o.
I virtually forgot you're involved in this.
Don't worry, they would work out something.

Akainzo:



Why do Nigerians living outside the country always feel laws on Nigeria should be changed for them? The law is made to be complied with and if you want a BVN, please make yourself available in any of the Nigerian banks in Nigeria. The CBN office is not in UK or US.

By the way, I haven't seen LLoyds Bank or BoA providing means for us in Nigeria to do a verification mandated by UK or US laws. Please, let us respect our country.

Alot!
