The Nigerian government has made linking your National Identification Number (NIN) to your Bank Verification Number (BVN) mandatory. This ensures better security and strengthens the financial system. If you haven’t done so yet, here’s a quick guide to get you started with two hassle-free methods:
1. Update Your Details at Your Nearest GTBank Branch
For those who prefer a personal touch, visiting your nearest GTBank branch is a convenient option. Here’s what to expect:
- Gather your documents: Make sure you have a valid ID card (your driver’s license, international passport, or National ID card work well) and your NIN slip readily available.
- Approach a customer service representative: Inform them about your intention to link your NIN to your BVN. They will guide you through the process.
- Verification and Update: The representative will verify your details and initiate the linking process. This might involve filling out a form and providing your BVN.

2. Link Your NIN via USSD Code (Quick and Easy!)
If you’re short on time, you can link your NIN to your BVN directly from your phone using a USSD code. Here’s how:
- Dial *737*20*BVN#: This code is specifically designed for GTBank customers to link their NIN with their BVN.
- Follow the on-screen prompts: You’ll be asked to enter your BVN and NIN. Double-check the information you enter for accuracy.
- Confirmation: Once you submit the details, you’ll receive a confirmation message on your phone.
Important Note:
- Ensure you use the registered mobile number linked to your GTBank account for both methods.
- Keep your NIN slip handy for reference.
Get Linked, Get Secured
By linking your NIN to your BVN, you contribute to a more secure banking environment. If you have any questions or encounter difficulties during the process, don’t hesitate to reach out to GTBank’s customer service hotline or visit their website for further assistance.
