How to Create a Nigerian Bank Account on Raenest as a US User

If you live in the US but still need to send or receive money in Nigeria, Raenest makes it simple to open a Nigerian naira (NGN) account right from your dashboard. This allows you to stay connected financially — whether it’s for supporting family, receiving remittances, or managing payments back home.

Steps to create your Nigerian bank account

  1. Log in to your Raenest account.
    ​

  2. On your dashboard, under Accounts, tap Get Account under Nigerian.
    ​

  3. Proceed to verify your identity as a Nigerian.
    ​

  4. Choose the ID you’d like to verify with:

    • BVN (recommended)

    • NIN

  5. If you’re verifying with BVN:

    • Enter your BVN accurately and tap Verify.

    • Your verification will be completed instantly.
      ​

  6. If you’re verifying with NIN:

    • Select NIN and enter your NIN.

    • Tap Verify.

    • Take a clear picture of your NIN card and tap Proceed to Verification.

    • Your verification will be reviewed.
      ​

  7. Once verification is complete, tap Open NGN Account.
    ​

  8. You’ll be taken to the NGN accounts page — tap Continue.
    ​

  9. We’ll review your details, and your NGN account will be created.

Start using your account

Once your NGN account is live, you can:

  • Receive money from friends and family in Nigeria
    ​

  • Send naira back home
    ​

  • Manage your Nigerian transactions alongside your US account
