The BVN is a policy introduced by the CBN to to offer security and forestall hacking into people’s accounts through Internet fraud.

While some Nigerians have welcome the  policy is a development that will guarantee more security to monies deposited in banks, others say fraudsters might as well develop a more sophisticated way of hacking into people’s accounts.
