Selfie Verification vNIN

To ensure that your customer is who they say they are, you can allow them take a selfie photo which you can pass on to the Dojah for verification process

This helps to significantly reduce the possibility of fraud by confirming the person using your product is the account owner at the validated bank.

Note that; Confidence value is used to verify match and values below 80 are considered false.

• The NIN holder can generate their virtual NIN via the NIMC Mobile App or the NIMC USSD code - _346_3_NIN_EnterpriseCode#.
• Dojah’s Enterprise code - 1138183
• The generated VNIN is valid for only 72 hours
