Today, I bring to you the code to check BVN number with your mobile phone easily. But before we go further, there are some things which I think you should know about it before I proceed to giving you the code.
What is a Bank Verification Number
This is a bio-metric identification system introduced by the central bank of Nigeria to reduce illegal banking and diversion of public funds. It has 11 digits and this serves as your universal ID in all banks or financial institutions locally.
It is used to link all your accounts so that all your transactions can be monitored.
Code to Check BVN Number on Your Mobile phone
The code used for checking BVN number is below.
Dial *565*0#
All you need to do is just dial it on the phone using the SIM registered to your account. Note that you will be charged 20 Naira each time you use this code. I will advice you to try as much as you can to find a safe place to write your BVN code down if you want to avoid paying this amount many times. But if you think you don't have any safe place to write it down, I will advice you to stick to this code for checking BVN because if you keep it carelessly, it can be used by fraudsters (yahoo boys).
