How to Link NIN and BVN to Your GTB Account (3 Methods)

In an effort to strengthen security and prevent fraud, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has mandated all Nigerians to link their National Identification Number (NIN) with their Bank Verification Number (BVN). This linkage applies to all bank accounts in Nigeria, including those held with Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank).

How to Link NIN and BVN to Your GTB Account

GTBank offers three convenient ways to link your NIN and BVN:

Method 1: Using GTBank USSD Code

This method is quick and easy if you have your mobile phone linked to your GTB account:

1. Dial *737*20*BVN# from your registered mobile number.

2. You’ll receive a prompt to enter your BVN.

3. Once you enter your BVN, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the linkage process.

Important Note: Ensure you have sufficient airtime on your phone before initiating this process.

Method 2: Through GTBank Online Portal

For those comfortable using the internet, here’s how to link your NIN and BVN online:

1. Visit the GTBank website (https://www.gtbank.com/personal-banking/ways-to-bank/internet-banking).

2. Log in to your GTB online banking account using your credentials.

3. Navigate to the “My Profile” section and locate the option to link your NIN.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions, entering your NIN details and completing any verification steps.

Security Tip: Remember to log out of your online banking account after completing this process.

Method 3: Visiting a GTBank Branch

If you prefer personal assistance or don’t have access to the internet or a registered mobile phone, you can visit a GTBank branch:

1. Locate a GTBank branch near you using the branch locator on the GTBank website (https://www.gtbank.com/personal-banking/ways-to-bank/internet-banking).

2. Visit the branch with your valid ID card (preferably your National ID card) and your BVN.

3. Approach a customer service representative and inform them you want to link your NIN to your GTB account.

4. The representative will guide you through the process, which may involve verifying your identity and capturing your NIN details.

Remember: Regardless of the method you choose, ensure you have your valid National ID card and your BVN readily available.

By following these steps, you can ensure your GTB account remains secure and compliant with CBN regulations. Remember, a linked NIN and BVN contribute to a safer and more streamlined banking experience for everyone.
