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

  1. Email — add and confirm your email address.
  2. BVN — your Bank Verification Number, issued by your bank.
  3. NIN or ID — your National Identification Number or accepted ID.
  4. Selfie or liveness — a quick face check to confirm it's really you.
  5. Address — your residential or business address.

How to complete it

  1. Open Settings, then Verification.
  2. Tap Owner KYC.
  3. Work through each step, entering details exactly as they appear on your records.
  4. 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.
