Recall that the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, in collaboration with the Bankers’ Committee, deployed a centralised Bank Verification Number, BVN, System in February 2014.

This was part of the overall strategy of ensuring the effectiveness of Know Your Customer, KYC, principles, in a bid to promote safe, reliable and efficient payment system which gives each customer in the Nigerian banking industry a unique identifier number.

“The BVN system is to address increasing incidence of frauds and to enhance public confidence in the banking industry. This Framework, without prejudice to existing laws, is a guide for the operations of the Watch-list in the Financial System.

“The Watch-list is a database of customers identified by their BVNs, who have been involved in confirmed cases of breaches, as defined within the framework,” he said.

This process is aimed at using BVN to deter, detect, and mitigate the risks of fraud in the banking industry, and every customer is meant to have a personal BVN number linked to his or her bank account.
