Extension Of BVN For Nigeria Bank Customers In Diaspora And Other Related Matters

The Central Bank of Nigeria has extended the deadline for Nigerian bank customers in the diaspora to obtain and attach a BVN to their bank accounts to January 31, 2016. Nigerian residents' bank accounts without a BVN will not be able to initiate debits but will still receive credit inflows, and banks are required to educate their customers on these clarifications.
