0 views
As of the last information available, you cannot directly do your BVN (Bank Verification Number) registration in Germany because it is a service provided by the Nigerian Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS) and is initially designed for enrollment within Nigeria or at specified Nigerian bank overseas branches. However, some Nigerian banks provide options for diaspora customers to register for their BVN at specific international locations or through online verification processes. Contact your bank directly for the most accurate, up-to-date information on how they can facilitate this process for you from Germany.
