BVN iGree

Introduction

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has introduced a consent management layer to ensure the protection of the personal data of Nigerians with registered BVNs. As a result, the Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS), which manages and maintains the BVN database, has created a consent management platform known as iGree.

What is iGree?

iGree is a centralized platform that allows for authentication and consent management for web and mobile applications. It unifies identity across services, service providers, and use cases. Essentially, it's a user interface integrated into a merchant's end-user onboarding process that enables NIBSS to collect consent directly from the BVN holder.
