      Visit the bank you registered and pick a BVN update form, and then you could change it

    Whenever I try to get my BVN number with the number (glo) used in registering it using the code, it always shows wrong mmi code.

      Then to get the BVN, visit the bank where you registered or where you have an account attached to your BVN and the customer service will write out your BVN.

      You cannot change your BVN, you can only update some information on your BVN. Thanks

      Please dial *565*0# on the phone you used to register the BVN.
