Illustrative identity only
Example values are illustrative and do not represent a real person.
Returned identity data
Understand what the verification tells you.
Use available identity attributes and match signals to support a decision—not as a substitute for your broader KYC, risk, or compliance programme.
Fields and match options depend on the selected product configuration, source availability, and applicable permissions.
Use cases
One verification layer. Many onboarding journeys.
Add National Identification Number verification where identity confidence matters across Nigerian financial and digital services.

KYC and compliance
A stronger identity input for your controls.
Use BVN verification as one part of a proportionate customer due diligence process alongside screeBVNg, risk assessment, and ongoing controls appropriate to your business.

BVN verification can support fraud prevention, but no single identity check detects every form of fraud.
