BVN iGree

Introduction

To strengthen the protection of personal data for individuals enrolled in the BVN program, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced a mandatory consent layer for all BVN-based verification services. In response, NIBSS—custodian of the BVN database—launched iGree, a secure, standardized consent management platform designed to put users in control of how their BVN information is shared.

What is iGree?

iGree is a centralized, user-driven consent platform that authenticates BVN holders and manages their approval across web and mobile applications. It brings a unified identity experience to merchants, service providers, and digital platforms by enabling NIBSS to capture real-time, regulatory-compliant consent directly from the customer before their data is released. In practice, iGree becomes part of your onboarding flow, ensuring transparency, compliance, and a seamless user journey.
