How to link your BVN to a GTBankAcct Online or via ATM

Lately in the month of October CBN had initially declared a

deadline for Bank Verification Number
(BVN) registration(October 31st), of which has
been extended to January
31, 2016.   This is contained in a statement by the Bank’s
Director, Corporate Communications, Mr
Ibrahim Mu’azu, released on Monday in Abuja.

It explained that the extension was to enable
the customers in Diaspora to complete the
enrollment as well as link the BVN to their
respective accounts.... While the date has been
extended, accounts that hasn’t been
registered or linked with a BVN number
has been limited till registration or linking
is complete.
Earlier before now, I shared a tutorial on
how to verify your BVN number using your
mobile phone. If you have already
registered for a BVN number in any other
bank and would like to link it up to your
Guaranty trust bank (GTB) account, you
don’t necessarily have to go to the bank.
You can simply link it up online or link it
using your ATM card.

Linking BVN to GTB account Online...

There are two ways in which you can
achieve this. You can either choose to use
the GTB BVN linker or use the BVN linker
when logged into your internet banking
platform. The first doesn’t necessarily
require you being a GTB internet banking
user while the second does.
==> If you do not have an active internet
banking service with GTB and would like
to link your BVN number with your GTB
account, please follow this link and follow
the instructions.
==> If you have an active GTB account,
please sign in to your internet banking
platform. You should use the desktop
version.
==> When logged in, under the My
Account menu, click on BVN Linker .

==> When the page opens, enter your Bank
Verification Number (BVN), the bank name
where you registered and received the BVN
from and then your security number.

==> Click on Continue and you are good to
go.
If doing this stuffs online isn’t your thing,
you can opt in to using your GTB ATM
card.
Linking BVN to GTB using ATM card
Insert your GT Bank atm card
Select BVN link on the transaction
menu screen
Enter your 11 digit BVN
Confirm your BVN details
Submit your BVN
It’s as simple as that. If you wouldn’t want
to get entangled with the long daily queue regularly
experienced in the banks, this could be the
best option for you.
