What Are The Signs That a BVN Has Been Blacklisted?

There are different visible signs to help you know that your BVN has been blacklisted. Below are some of the signs that a BVN has been blacklisted.

Constant Loan Application Rejection

Account Restrictions

Online Banking Issues

Notification From Bank

Frozen Bank Account

Credit Bureau Report

Constant Loan Application Rejection

When a BVN is blacklisted, you'll always get a constant loan rejection without any reason from financial institutions and money lenders that make use of the BVN as a means of verifying the creditworthiness of a borrower.

Account Restrictions

If you keep getting sudden limitations on some of the services available on your bank account, then chances are your BVN has been blacklisted. You may not be able to carry out some basic transactions such as withdrawals and transfers.

Online Banking Issues

In many cases, depending on the bank, when your BVN is blacklisted, you may likely find it difficult to make use of your online banking. When you experience that frequently then it is a sign that your BVN is having issues.

Notification From Bank

The bank will always reach out to you to inform you about any issue your BVN might have and the reason why it was blacklisted. Whenever you receive any communication from the bank, always take it seriously and rectify it as soon as you can

Frozen Bank Account

A lot of bank accounts are usually frozen when the BVN attached to the account is blacklisted.

Credit Bureau Report

Having a regular check with credit bureaus in Nigeria will help you be in check and updated with your BVN status. If there is any issues or blacklist, the report will reveal it. This includes unpaid debts as well as fraudulent activities that have been carried out.

How To Ensure Your BVN Doesn't Get Blacklisted

Avoid Taking Loans From Loan Sharks

A lot of Nigerians are fond of taking quick short-term loans from all these loan sharks that display themselves as money lenders. Once you take a loan from them, they make it difficult for you to pay them and rely on them all the time. Once they notice you can no longer pay the loan, they send a signal to credit bureaus that you're a loan defaulter and a bad debtor. This action alone will lead your BVN to being blacklisted. Try any means necessary to avoid taking loans.

Avoid Any Form Of Fraud

Committing fraud can lead to your BVN being blacklisted. This means that when the bank finds anything fraudulent linked to your BVN such as scams, fake checks, and many more will lead to your BVN being blacklisted. So avoid it!

Don't Share Logins With People You Don't Trust

Sharing your sensitive information with people you don't trust can compromise your account and affect your BVN. Stay safe out there!

Conclusion

Your BVN is very important in your financial life because it leaves a digital footprint of every transaction you make in this 21st century we are today. This is why you need to always keep track of the status of your Bank Verification Number at all times for you to carry out your banking activities smoothly without having any issues.

Lastly what I will advise you is to avoid all these loan apps. Most of them are loan sharks that put you in a miserable web of debt and send signals to the credit bureau that you're a defaulter or a fraud.

What's the process of blacklisting the BVN of a person who is owing you?

I pity anyone who inserts his/bvn in that link the op posted. They're using the link to collect your bvn. Beware, your access would be wiped out!

The mods should do the right thing by taking down this thread.

The OP made this post purposely to propagate the scam link he posted on the post. Put your BVN in that link at your own peril.
