The Bank Verification Number (BVN) which is an 11 digit number was introduced in Nigeria in other to curbed all forms of financial fraud and theft. The BVN serve as your universal identity (ID) in all the banks and financial institution within the country. So as you can see this is for your own personal banking safety.
I have seen many people having one problem or the other about their BVN details which include, the wrong date of birth or names. This problem can really affect you in the banking sector.
Try as much as possible to avoid any form of mistake when filling out forms for a new bank account or other forms that require your BVN number (If you already have BVN). Make sure the names and dates of birth details you give correspond with the one on your BVN.
What of if the deed has been done. For example, you want to open a new bank account and you don’t know the dates of birth you use during your BVN registration.

The good news is that you can visit the Bank you registered your BVN to change your phone number. If you register your BVN with First Bank, go to the Bank to make the changes and if you register with Union Bank, you also have to visit Union to make the change and so on.
While going to your Bank for the changes, make sure you go with your ID as it will be required to process with the correction. The ID can be your voter’s card, driver’s license or National ID.

This is the message many wants to know. Changing the BVN number online seems to be the best and easy. However as easy as it seems, it won’t be that possible. In fact, it’s not possible to change your BVN phone number online for now.

You can easily get your BVN number through SMS by dialing *565*0# on the MTN line. Yes, it’s that simple, however, if you wish to check further details like date of birth, the phone number you used, etc, you will have to visit your bank.

BVN Online Registration
Registration of BVN online can be stressful especially at this time where social distancing is the new regulation. The stress and other factors has made it almost impossible for some due to their tight schedules.
Because of that, many have been looking for ways to register their BVN online. But the question still remains, is it possible to register your BVN online without going to the Bank?
For now, the answer is No. You can not register your BVN online. You can only link your BVN online by following the instructions provided by your Bank.
Hint To Note: There is no method, for now, to know your BVN details without going to the bank because all BVN database is secured (Correct me if I’m wrong).
You can only check your BVN number with this code *565*0# both on MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9Mobile. After that, a charge of N20 will be deducted from your account and the 11 digit number will be sent to you.

How can I cornet my date of birt to my bvn
Good morning miracle, I have issue with my bvn date of birth, where they’re supposed to put 1 they put 11, I went to my enrollment center which is access bank and appropriate changes have been made but here at National Identity management office where I want to do National I.D card they’re still seeing the old information, I went back to two different banks for bvn print out in order to see if the information could be accessed from anywhere and it was so, the 2 print out captured the correct information, with the two print out I went back to NIN office but upon getting there I was told that is only CBN that can change the information, they said what ever change the bank made didn’t get to CBN and I was directed to go pay N15,000 to get it changed, could you please throw more light that?, because millions of people are affected
Please throw more lights on that, tell us what we need to know the
What exactly do you want to know? You can check your BVN date of birth by going to the Bank. There is no way to do that online. However, if you want to open a Bank account, make sure that the name and other details you used on your BVN correspond.
Too bad. This is the first time I’m seeing such a thing. Don’t pay money to anybody. They are trying to exploit you. Just give it some time. Maybe 72 hours that is to say 3 working days. It should reflect on CBN data based. Or batter still one week.
This is the same thing I am facing now
This must be a new thing. I will have to investigate it. Before that time, try confirming from your Bank that you made the necessary changes. Tell them that till now your BVN changes have not reflected on CBN data. You cant get your NIN with it.
What you want to do is modification of age. They are right when they said you’re going to pay the sum of#15,000. See go to any bank and tell them you want RRR for modification of age that is going to federal government account. Maybe, from there you’ll be guided on what to do. But please ensure you’re guided properly before taking any step

Can you please explain how. The last time I check, its only bank that can access a person BVN. BVN is not some kind of Jamb registration that you can access in some Cafes. Don’t allow anyone to scam you. There is no cafe that has such authority to access BVN. Secure your BVN, its the backbone of your money.
