If you are a bank customer in Nigeria, you have probably heard of the Bank Verification Number (BVN). The BVN is an 11-digit unique identity linked to all your bank accounts across the Nigerian banking industry.

It was introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS) in 2014 to enhance security, prevent fraud, and facilitate easy identification and verification of customers.

But what if you need a printout of your BVN details for any reason? Perhaps you want to update your information, open a new account, or apply for a loan. How can you get your BVN printout online without visiting the bank? In this blog post, we will show you three quick and easy ways to do that.

Printing BVN Online: Top 3 Methods

Method 1: Use the NIBSS BVN Validation Portal

The NIBSS BVN Validation Portal is an online platform that allows you to verify and print your BVN details. To use this portal, you need to have your BVN and date of birth ready.

Here are the steps to follow:

• Visit the portal https://bvnvalidationportal.nibss-plc.com.ng/bvnnbo/login
• Enter your BVN and date of birth
• Click on the ‘Search Icon’
• Select the payment method you prefer
• Make the payment and proceed
• Your information will be displayed on your screen.
• You can then print or download your BVN details as a PDF file.

Method 2: Dial 5650# on Your Mobile Phone

Another easy way to get your BVN printout online is to dial 5650# on your mobile phone. This is a USSD code that works on any network and any phone. However, you need to have at least N25 airtime on your phone to use this service.

Here are the steps to follow:

• Dial 5650# on your mobile phone
• Wait for a few seconds for the system to process your request
• You will receive an SMS with your BVN details
• You can then take a screenshot or forward the SMS to your email address
• You can then print or download your BVN details from your email.

Method 3: Visit Your Bank’s Website or Mobile App

The third way to get your BVN printout online is to visit your bank’s website or mobile app. Most banks in Nigeria have online platforms that allow you to access and manage your accounts. You can also view and print your BVN details from these platforms. However, you need to have an internet connection and log in with your username and password.

Here are the steps to follow:

• Visit your bank’s website or mobile app
• Log in with your username and password
• Navigate to the section where you can view your account details
• Look for the option that says ‘BVN’ or ‘Bank Verification Number’
• Click on it to view your BVN details
• You can then print or download your BVN details as a PDF file.

Getting your BVN printout online in Nigeria is not difficult if you know the right methods to use. You can use any of the three methods we have discussed in this blog post: the NIBSS BVN Validation Portal, the USSD code 5650#, or your bank’s website or mobile app. Whichever method you choose, make sure you keep your BVN details safe and secure.

Do not share them with anyone or use them for fraudulent purposes. Your BVN is your unique identity in the banking industry, and it should be protected at all costs.
