How to check Bank Verification Number (BVN) on OPay

This article explains, with image illustrations, how to check BVN and NIN on the OPay app.
Checking your bank verification number (BVN) is one of the simplest things to do on the OPay app if you know your way around it. But it's not surprising that many users of OPay don't know how to navigate their way to where the BVN will be fully visible.
Follow the steps in the images below to completely view your BVN on the OPay mobile app:
Note: This is also the method of checking your National Identification Number (NIN) on the OPay app. If your BVN or NIN is not fully visible, that means you're not using the updated OPay app. You'll need to download the latest version on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
