Virtual Accounts
Virtual accounts are NGN bank accounts linked to your Bitnob wallet — giving you a dedicated account number you can share to receive naira payments directly.
Each virtual account you create is saved automatically and available for future transactions. You can create accounts for individuals or businesses depending on your use case.
Account types
There are two account types available when creating a virtual account:
Individual — For accounts tied to a specific person. Requires a phone number, date of birth, and BVN.
