The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, in a circular says it has finalised the guideline for the enrolment of the Nigerians in diaspora for the Biometric Verification Number, BVN.
According to CBN, Nigerian banks ‘customers in diaspora could present themselves for enrolment for the BVN, without travelling to Nigeria, through foreign based Nigerian banks and through Consultant Online Integrated Solutions.
"The first option is for the customers of Nigerian banks to present themselves to the offshore branches/subsidiaries of any Nigerian Deposit Money Bank (where such facilities have been made available) for the enrolment for the BVN. The deployment of scanners and other devices to these locations have started in earnest," it said.
The CBN says Consultant-Online Integrated Solution(OIS) has been engaged to establish stations for data capture and generation of BVN at a fee of GBP 30(thirty pounds or its equivalent)per transaction, payable by the customer.
"The company is expected to capture necessary data for online transmission to NIBSS who would thereafter generate the BVN and communicate same to the customer.
"The customer may approach OIS for the BVN, where the communication from NIBSS is not received within 48 hours after the enrolment.
"Thereafter, Nigerian Banks Customers in Diasporas are expected to forward their BVN to their banks for linkage with their accounts." it said.
The circular was signed by the Director of Banking and Payments System, Dipo Fatokun.
