Why is my Bank Verification Number (BVN) required?
We request your BVN as this is used to verify that the individual applying for a Carbon loan is the same as the owner of the provided bank account. This is to ensure that your details cannot be used to apply for a loan without your authorization in the event a 3rd party has access to your account details.
Please note: Your BVN does not provide access to your account. If in doubt, we encourage you to confirm this from your bank before you proceed.
