Basic BVN verification is best when you already collected customer profile data and want to check how closely it matches the BVN record.

​
Best For

  • Fast onboarding checks
  • Match-score driven workflows
  • Tiered KYC where you do not yet need full BVN profile details

​
What You Submit

You provide the BVN together with identity fields such as first name, middle name, last name, gender, birthday, and phone number.

​
What You Get Back

The response tells you how well the submitted profile matches the BVN record:
  • name_match_rlt
  • names_match_percentage
  • birthday_match_rlt
  • gender_match_rlt
  • phone_number_match_rlt

​
How To Use It

Use this guide when you need a simple pass / review / fail decision:
  • Auto-approve when all core fields match
  • Route to manual review when the match percentage is borderline
  • Reject or request correction when the identity fields clearly differ

​
Typical Flow

  1. Collect BVN and customer profile details.
  2. Call Basic BVN Verification.
  3. Evaluate the match fields and score.
  4. Escalate to Enhanced BVN, document checks, or face comparison when needed.
If you need actual profile data from the BVN source instead of match results, use Enhanced BVN Verification.
