| How to Check Your BVN on Access Bank (USSD & App) |
If you’re an Access Bank customer and you need your BVN quickly, you don’t have to visit a branch. You can retrieve your BVN easily using either the Access Bank USSD code or the Access Bank mobile app.
In this guide, you’ll learn:

How to find BVN on Access More mobile app.
What to do if your number isn’t linked.
Why You May Need Your BVN
Your BVN (Bank Verification Number) is your unique identity across Nigerian banks. Without it, you can’t:
- Open a new account.
- Apply for a loan.
- Complete certain transactions.
- Register for government programs.
Knowing how to check it from home saves you time and stress.
How to Check BVN on Access Bank Using USSD
If you’re using the phone number linked to your BVN, follow these steps:
Step 1: Ensure you have at least ₦30 airtime.
Step 2: Dial the BVN USSD code:
*565*0#
Step 3: Wait a few seconds — your 11–digit BVN will be displayed on your screen and sent by SMS.
Note: This is not unique to Access Bank — it’s a general service provided through your linked phone number.
How to Check BVN on Access Bank Mobile App
If you use the Access Bank Access More app:
Step 1: Log in to your account.
Step 2: On the home screen, tap on your profile or settings.
Step 3: You’ll see your BVN displayed in your account information section.
This method is free, provided you already have the app installed and linked to your account.
How Much Does It Cost?
USSD BVN check: ₦20–₦30 per request.
Mobile app check: Free.
What If It Doesn’t Work?
If you dial the code and it doesn’t display your BVN, it may be because:
- The phone number is not linked to your BVN.
- There’s a network issue.
- Your BVN is not properly registered.
Solution:
- Visit any Access Bank branch with a valid ID to confirm or update your BVN record.
- Once updated, retry the USSD or app method.
You can also visit the BVN Portal: NIBSS BVN Portal for additional help.
Tips to Keep Your BVN Safe
Never share your BVN publicly or on untrusted websites.
Use only official USSD codes or apps.
Report suspicious activities to your bank immediately.
