How to check BVN on MTN, Airtel, GLO, and 9mobile
The first thing to do before using this service is to ensure that whatever line you wish to use is the one you registered the BVN with. If you registered with MTN, you can’t use an Airtel line to check your BVN.
After that has been established, you can now go ahead and check your BVN with these simple steps:
Dial the USSD code *565*0# t check your BVN
Go to your phone dialer and dial the USSD code *565*0#.Wait a bit until the 11-digit number pops up.Copy the number. You can either copy it for immediate use or save it for later. However, the service is not free and you’ll be charged 20 naira for the transaction. So, saving for later use is advisable for people who can’t afford to tip telcos a whole 20 bucks every time they check their BVN.
Error message for using a number other than the one you registered your BVN with
Note that checking your BVN is not only the same process across all lines, it’s also similar across all the banks. You use the same code to check your BVN as a GTB or UBA customer because everyone is allocated one unique BVN that’s used across all the banks. This means, if you have accounts with all the banks in Nigeria, you’ll still have one BVN that links all of them back to you.
