How to link your BVN to other Bank accounts. - updated

Following this directive by the CBN,
http://www.cenbank.org/Out/2015/BPSD/BVN%20LINKAGE%20OPTIONS.pdf
all banks are directed to link your BVN once you have it to your other existing accounts by email or sms or web portal or phone call.

People day by day keep on opening new acount numbers from different banks as a result of change of job or Business or even location. Whichever the case may be, you have a new account number from another bank or vendor from the same bank, you need to link your
BVN to it otherwise yiur can't debit from that account.

Obviously Bank marketer are at their toes doing what they know how to do best, winning customers.

so, If you have your BVN already, here is how to link it to your other accounts without going to the bank.


A. firstly, ask their twitter customer care team if there is an sms code or online portal or email address you can send your bvn details to while waiting for the answer,
B. google to see if there is an sms code for BVN linking for the bank,
C. then google to see if there is an online portal for BVN linking for the bank,
D. if not, and if the twitter team havnt answered, try their facebook customer care team,
E.call their customer care if all fails,
F.and then if all these still fail, go to the bank.


Here are those i got my hands on already. Note that the list is not exhaustive.
