Our bank partners are required by CBN to verify your identity. Your BVN and NIN are how we do that. We use them only for your banking application.
When you enter each number, we look up its record and fill in your name and date of birth. The two records must agree on your gender and date of birth.
If a number won't verify:
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| We couldn't find a record for this BVN (or NIN) | Check the number for typos and try again |
| Your BVN and NIN records don't match | Your two records disagree on gender or date of birth. Check you've entered your own numbers. If they're both correct, the record needs correcting at your bank or at NIMC |
| The date of birth you entered does not match | Enter the date of birth exactly as it is on your BVN/NIN record |
| This BVN (or NIN) is already verified on another account | Each BVN and NIN can be used on one Roofteller account. Sign in with that account, or contact us |
