Financial Accounts Advance
Retrieve all bank account linked to a BVN
This API offers merchants the capability to access an extensive list of bank accounts linked to a specific Bank Verification Number (BVN). This feature is particularly valuable for financial institutions and businesses that require bank account authentication for various purposes.
The process of retrieving these financial accounts involves three distinct stages:
- Initialize: In this initial step, the process begins by initiating a consent request. The merchant's system sends a request to the API, expressing the intention to retrieve financial information. This request typically involves providing the user's BVN as input.
- Get Consent: During this stage, the merchant is required to provide the contact details necessary to receive a One-Time Password (OTP). This OTP serves as a means of authentication and verification.
- Retrieve Financial Accounts: In the final stage, the OTP obtained from the previous step is inputted. This step completes the process and allows the API to fetch all the bank accounts associated with the provided BVN.
