Common questions
What if my BVN name doesn't match my account name?
Make sure your name on Prestmit matches exactly what is on your BVN. Update your profile name first if they differ, then retry verification.
Is my BVN data safe?
Yes. Your BVN does not give Prestmit or anyone else access to your bank account. All KYC data is kept confidential under the Prestmit Privacy Policy
What happens if verification fails?
Try a different verification method. If all methods fail, contact support via the in-app live chat for assistance.
Please Note: KYC is required to sell airtime, buy or sell gift cards, trade cryptocurrency, and to access higher withdrawal limits.
