Lovelynature: Lots of suggestions so far. 1. Please disregard all those who advise you to close your account and open a new one as NO BANK will close an account for you if you don't have a BVN bearing the name on the account. Having said that, ignore the guy asking you to call him because he has "Bank contacts"..modification of Customer details are not carried out in the Bank but NIBSS. 2. Like lots of people have advised, to modify your BVN details, get a sworn affidavit as to change of name, a newspaper publication, an application letter addressed to the manager of your Bank branch, and a valid ID card to proof that you are the one bearing the new name. 3. The ID card aspect might be difficult as the 4 valid means of identification are not easily accessible. However, if you know how to drive you can get a new driver's licence with your new name in 24hours, or proceed to immigration office for an international passport..or register for the ongoing NIMC registration, though not all banks accept NIMC slip because it doesn't carry date of birth. You can do your pre-enrolment of the national ID card here www.ninenrol.gov.ng/ 3 Likes |

Lovelynature:Thanks so much. God bless you. The old names they require, can I just write it out or I have to go with my birth certificate. Then apart from surname, can I change my middle name too? |
Re: Has Anybody Been Able To Change His Account Name With Bank? How Did You Do It? by Lovelynature(m): 11:10am On Mar 04, 2016 |
RadicallyBlunt:Yeah, you can change any name you like. Just write the both names on paper and take it to court for affidavit. Just that you have to give the bank manager reason(s) why you are changing those names. Have you registered your bvn with your old name? |
Re: Has Anybody Been Able To Change His Account Name With Bank? How Did You Do It? by Nobody: 11:50am On Mar 04, 2016 |
Lovelynature:Yeah I have. Do I have to get a new bvn? |
Re: Has Anybody Been Able To Change His Account Name With Bank? How Did You Do It? by Lovelynature(m): 11:54am On Mar 04, 2016 |
RadicallyBlunt:No, don't even try that, because it won't work. They have to change the bvn name as well |

Sandee10:indirectly, with joy cos thats the branch that listend to me nd treated it as i want.the branch i went to withdraw b4 d wahala said they dont kwn what to do. That i shuld go to my branch in the east. More than 3branches.one said that she dosnt knw about change of surname except for for married couple.others where runing away from the stress in address verification. I did it because dollar was rising nd a costomer in d bank needed an inflow to send to chinko. It was explained to me that it might take 3weeks to verify due to some issues[person incharge is going for leave]. And i have spent like 3weeks on newspaper publication...who d lose? |

I'm also going through this issue, I can't link my bvn to another account. when I opened my gtb account the agent said I could use any name I wish for the account, and instead of my native first name, I used it's English meaning since it was like a nick name to me, by then there was nothing like bvn. later bvn came in and I tried doing it because they freezed my money, they said it has to correspond with my account name nd they went ahead and did it with the said account name. now I tried opening a Zenith account with my real name but they couldn't link it with my bvn due to breach of name, so I went to my bank nd told them, they said I should provide a sworn affidavit, a valid I'd bearing my real name and a published newspaper on change of name. Now my problem is how do I do a change of name when I don't have any I'd or document supporting my said bank name? The high court will definitely ask for a document of my said bank name which doesn't exist in anywhere. What do I do? Please friends I need your advice? |

Guys i did an affirmation of name because i am not changing my last name but just updating my first name and second name.. I hope the affirmation of name affidavit can be used? |
Re: Has Anybody Been Able To Change His Account Name With Bank? How Did You Do It? by damilarelr(m): 9:50pm On Nov 05, 2016 |
Tiense: Hello, Have you been able to do the name change? If not, here is what you need to do: I want to believe you have one of the valid means of identification recognised by the Central Bank, i.e permanent voter's card, international passport, driving licence, or national ID card. With the ID card along with sworn affidavit of you change of name, and newspaper publication reflecting your old name (at GTB) and your new name (as it is on your ID card), approach GTB for a change of name on their system and on the BVN platform. It might take up to 48hours before the changes would be effected. Once that has been done, you can go ahead and open accounts with any other bank of your choice. But in case you do not have a valid ID, you might need to get either a driving licence or international passport. 1 Like |

pls I unfortunately bought a registered sim card and it was the number I used to register for my BVN. Now the number is lost and Mtn told me that they can not retrieve the line for me cos I was not the person that registered it. I have a program whereby I have to register with my BVN phone number. I went to the bank to change the BVN phone number but they asked for my voters card but they rejected it cos my surname has erased off the voters card. And my temporary national I.d card is unacceptable. pls what can I do to get the BVN phone number changed I really need your help. Thanks. |
