Where can I get my bank’s enterprise code?
The aforementioned codes can be found in the NIMC app.
Importance of the enterprise codes
1) The codes enable financial institutions, businesses and government agencies to verify individuals presenting their Improved NIN slips, Mobile ID or virtual NINs as proof of their identities
2) For effective large management of verification administrators and agents working for the enterprises.
3) You can use the agent code to generate VNIN, which you would need to link your NIN to your bank account.
4) You can use the Virtual NIN when digitally verifying your identity with a verifying agent or enterprise who needs to confirm your identity before offering you a service (banks, airports, shopping delivery etc.
5) To control the acquisition, distribution and tracking of verification credit units across administrators and agents
6) And finally, to be able to generate and maintain ID verification records.
