NIMC to Launch National ID Card with Payment Functionality

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) announces plans to introduce a multifunctional National ID card with payment capabilities, in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System (NIBSS). This initiative aims to provide Nigerians with secure access to social and financial services.

Key features of the card include machine-readable zones, conforming to international standards, and biometric authentication for identity verification. Cardholders, linked to their National Identification Number (NIN), can access government services, financial inclusion opportunities, and participate in national development programs.

The card, meeting International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, will serve as the country's primary national identity card and function as a debit or prepaid card when linked to bank accounts. Data protection measures ensure the security and confidentiality of users' information, aligning with international data security protocols.

Accessible online and through various channels nationwide, the card aims to empower citizens and promote inclusive growth, fostering increased participation in nation-building efforts.
