COMMON QUESTIONS
A clearer understanding.
Are BVN and NIN separate verification methods?
Yes. Bank Verification Numbers and National Identification Numbers are distinct identity references. The customer selects the method required by your application.
Can I combine the identity check with a selfie?
Yes. The identity and face journey can connect an authorised reference portrait with live face capture, face comparison and the required security checks.
Does this page verify a real identity?
No. The screens illustrate the customer journey. This product page does not collect identity numbers or perform a live check.
