How to Get My BVN Number on My Phone (2025 Guide)

Your BVN (Bank Verification Number) is a unique number that links all your bank accounts in Nigeria. If you’ve forgotten your BVN or need to retrieve it quickly, you can easily get it on your phone in seconds.

Here’s a step‑by‑step guide to checking your BVN on any phone without visiting the bank.

How to Check Your BVN on Phone

1 Using USSD Code

This works on any type of phone (smartphone or feature phone), and on all major Nigerian networks (MTN, Glo, Airtel, 9mobile).

Dial:
*565*0#
Press the call/send button.
Wait for a few seconds.
Your 11‑digit BVN will appear on the screen.

Note: This service usually costs about ₦20 per request. Make sure you have airtime on your line.

2 Things to Remember

You must use the same phone number that is linked to your BVN.
If you have more than one SIM, use the one you registered at the bank.
If you changed your number and didn’t update it at the bank, visit your bank branch to fix it.

Checking your BVN is quick and easy — all you need is your registered phone line and a small airtime balance. To avoid future stress, write down or save your BVN in a secure place after retrieving it.
