The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has extended the Bank Verification Number (BVN) registration deadline for Nigerian banks’ customers in the Diaspora to June 30, 2016.
According to a circular posted on the banks’ website Thursday, the decision to extend the deadline which was initially January 31, was a result of low responses from the affected banks’ customers.

The apex bank said it discovered from its survey that the low responses could be due to inadequate information and lack of accessibility to registration centres in some countries with large Nigerian populations.
It therefore, decided to publish detailed addresses of the BVN registration centres in countries of their residence to make it easier for them to comply.
