Les faits

• “The purpose, according to the statement, is to enhance security in Nigeria’s banking system, protect customers from digital fraud risks and ensure tighter control over mobile banking and BVN management”
• Device exclusivity is new in Nigeria’s banking system: Globally, many banks allow multiple devices for convenience, but Nigeria is taking a stricter route—one device per BVN-linked app login.
• The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has unveiled 10 major updates to the Bank Verification Number (BVN) framework, set to take effect on May 1.
• BVN age restriction aligns with global norms: By setting 18 as the minimum age, Nigeria is aligning with international standards where minors typically cannot hold independent financial identities.
• BVN watchlist is modelled after anti-money laundering systems: The 24-hour monitoring window resembles “suspicious activity reports” used in U.S. and EU banking, but Nigeria is applying it directly to BVNs, which is a unique identifier system.
