Complete owner KYC (BVN, NIN, selfie, address)
Verify yourself as the owner with your BVN, NIN, a selfie and your address.
Last updated June 1, 2026
Owner KYC confirms your identity. It's required for Tier 1 and forms the base of Tier 2.
What you'll provide
- Email — add and confirm your email address.
- BVN — your Bank Verification Number, issued by your bank.
- NIN or ID — your National Identification Number or accepted ID.
- Selfie or liveness — a quick face check to confirm it's really you.
- Address — your residential or business address.
How to complete it
- Open Settings, then Verification.
- Tap Owner KYC.
- Work through each step, entering details exactly as they appear on your records.
- Submit.
BVN and NIN checks are usually instant.
Tip: Make sure your name and date of birth match your bank and NIMC records exactly. A small mismatch is the most common reason a check fails.
What's next
- Add your business documents: Submit your business documents.
