The BVN Verification API allows you to validate the bank records of individuals. This is a critical step for KYC (Know Your Customer) in fintech applications.

​
Modes

  • Basic: Essential profile data.
  • Advanced: Full profile data including residential address and more.
Identity services can be tested using the Sandbox environment with your test_... key. Test requests will return mock data and won’t charge your wallet.
