How To Check BVN In Ghana

What is BVN in Ghana? A Bank Verification Number (BVN) is a Nigerian banking identification system, and is not a Ghanaian national identification system. In Ghana, the equivalent national identification system is the Ghana Card, which is a biometric ID issued by the Ghanaian government. Some banks in Ghana, such as Access Bank and UBA Ghana, may offer BVN enrollment services for Nigerians living in Ghana, but it is a Nigerian requirement, not a Ghanaian one. 

How do I check my BVN on mobile in Ghana?

Dial 5650# on the Nigerian phone number linked to your bank account.

Your BVN will be displayed on your screen.

A small service fee (about ₦20) will be deducted from your airtime balance.

This code works only on Nigerian SIMs, not Ghanaian MTN, AirtelTigo, or Vodafone lines.

Can I check my BVN in Ghana?

Yes. Even if you are in Ghana, you can still check your BVN as long as:

You have the Nigerian SIM card (MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9Mobile) that is linked to your BVN.

You can receive network service/roaming on that SIM.

What if I don’t have my Nigerian SIM card with me in Ghana?

Use your bank’s mobile app or internet banking platform.

Call or email your bank’s customer care for assistance.

Visit a Nigerian bank branch in Ghana (if available) to request your BVN

Why is checking my BVN important?

Required for opening or operating Nigerian bank accounts.

Needed for NIN, SIM registration, and financial transactions.

Helps prevent identity fraud by linking all your bank accounts to one ID.
