The BVN gives each customer a unique identity across the Nigerian Banking industry and can be used for easy identification and verification.
First of all, here are important things to note about your BVN and why it is required on Cowrywise;
Your BVN is an identifier, not an access point to your bank accounts.
It identifies you by your name, phone number and date of birth.
It doesn’t give anyone including Cowrywise automatic access to your bank accounts.
On Cowrywise, it helps us identify and verify you.
