Simple dashboard flow for business users
Your team does not need technical setup to run a Nigerian identity check. They select Nigeria, choose the evidence type, enter the information and review the dashboard result.
Select Nigeria
Choose Nigeria in the country selector and pick the evidence type: BVN, NIN, NIN Slip, Virtual NIN, Phone Number, Voter ID or Bank Account.
Enter the customer detail
Add the number or account information your customer provided. Bank-account checks also require the customer bank.
Run the check
The dashboard shows a secure verification progress state while the check completes.
Review the result
Your team sees a plain-English result: verified, mismatch, record not found, or source unavailable.
What your team gets back
The result is designed for operational review. It helps a user decide whether the customer record looks verified, whether details appear to mismatch, or whether another document is needed.
Clear outcomes for operations teams
Results are written for the person making the onboarding or review decision, not for engineering teams.
Verified match
The report confirms that a matching Nigerian identity record was found for the information submitted.
Possible mismatch
If the information supplied does not align with the returned record, the dashboard highlights the mismatch for review.
Record not found
If no matching record is available, the report shows this clearly so your team can request alternative evidence.
Source unavailable
If the source is temporarily unavailable, the report separates that from a true identity failure.
Nigerian bank-account identity checks
For the Nigerian Bank Account check, the dashboard requires both the account number and a selected financial institution. Current supported options include the banks shown here.
Where Nigerian verification fits

Verify Nigerian customers, contractors or suppliers from the same VerifyNow account your team already uses for South African checks.
Fintech onboarding

Document-backed checks
