Ever since the issue of Bank Verification Number began,many Nigerians home and abroad have been dabbling with the issue of lost temporal bank Identity numbers issued by the banks. Most times customers are kept stranded and prevented from having access to their account even when the banks have failed to make permanent BVN available. As October 31st deadline for the Bank Registration Number approaches, many customers will lose their hard earned money to the bank as mandated by the CBN.
One Mrs Yewande, whom I spoke with inside one of the Diamond Bank in Ilupeju Lagos, expressed her grievances especially the way commercial banks in Nigeria are frustrating customers in the name of BVN as directed by CBN.
According to her, she said Diamond BVN agents could not send her BVN pin within that three days period but unfortunately for her she lost the temporal one which could have helped in tracking her data. She said, because of the inability of the bank to track her BVN pin coupled with refusal to allow her withdraw money from the counter demoralized her. As a result of this ugly development, she has to re-register, because the bank said may be the date of birth given at the first instance contradict the later one or does not exist at all. Now because of fear of losing her salary account and money with the bank as CBN deadline seriously approaches, what can she do to recover her whole money, especially now commercial banks will use this advantage to siphon enormous money which may not be only her alone but to other innocent Nigerians.

Simple. Let me open another acct possibly with another bank lik a saving account. Now she must ensure that you use the same information or data lik d one at diamond bank. Of course there must be a valid id card*( intl passport, driver licence, voter card or national id card)*. With this new account, a bvn registration is done and d bvn nos or code is taken to any diamond bank branch. Which will be I inputted into d salary account.

I believe this will do! Cheers

I have exactly the same issue with BVN registration that I did at UBA. They convinced me to register again at another branch which I did. Now I hv registered in two other banks, GTB and First bank yet no BVN number. The UBA could not trace my original data. I have transfered all my savings to another account owned by a relation but my salary account is endangered.

I have seen people with this issue, but non conplained on this forum. The bankers could not provide solution to this problem. If you have ever solved this issue, please let us know. We have just one week to go.

Yes, same name and phone number. Sending *565*0# with my phone returned a message that my number was not enrolled for BVN too.

I wish the moderator could send this to the FP for more people to narrate their own experiences.
