The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in a circular issued and signed by Mr Dipo Fatokun, Director, Banking and Payment System Department, in Abuja today has extended the Bank Verification (BVN) registration deadline to Oct. 31 to facilitate a smooth completion of the registration exercise.

`It has come to our notice that the BVN registration has elicited tremendous interest from the Nigerian bank customers who crowded the banking halls in order to beat the deadline. In view of the foregoing, it has become imperative for the banks to extend the timeline for all customers to have the BVN. The deadline for the enrolment is hereby extended from June 30 to Oct. 31,” It stated.
