This uses only the bank name and account number through intending banks' API request, so yes there's no data retention whatsoever. It uses same level of info (account number) you give out to someone when you want them to deposit money to your account.

Secondly, do we even need an app that solely solves this problem only and only? At the point of sending money to any bank account in Nigeria (either mobile banking, internet banking or SMS banking) banks will provide you with this same information instantly.

So in my own opinion, this app only "re-invents" the wheel rather than solving untapped problem.

Will run an exploitcode on that app for pentesting

Please somebody should help me out here. Is the OP a banker? How was he able to get into the CBN database to verify account numbers? Which database is he operating with? Where does his app fetch peoples information after their account numbers have been put in? Or can any developer randomly access a database of people's bank account information with his or her app? This is the main question everybody should be asking.

The app ain't highly important
But it can help in times when someone writes an account number for u to pay money into and maybe the persons writing ain't clear, when u get to the bank, it saves u the time and stress of those at the counter telling u to correct the name or some that are too lazy will tell u to call the person u wanna deposit into their account to send u the right details.


But at the end sha
We just like the fact that it's a Nigerian that developed the app, shows that we are still thinking out of the box in this trying times.

A big thumbs up to the developer again!

Re: Confirm The Owner Of Any Bank Account In Nigeria by d33types: 8:09am On Jun 15, 2016
how safe is this app? Developer abeg take steps for your app to be recognised by banks and /or interswitch else no enlightened person will touch it ..


why should I use this app when I can use a safer Quickteller by interswitch either on their website or android app?

Thank you for your reply.

This is just a little play project, it is not important that you use it.

I will be making the project open source except for the API call part to help people understand how transparent and safe it.

Like someone commented earlier, it is not an app to disrupt the industry, it is just a little play thing I came up with.
