A Nigerian man has been reportedly denied visa application after it was discovered that he owe a loan app a sum of N5,000.
According to a man, Leonard IB Marcus who shared the story, the visa applicant got denied because his Bank Verification Number (BVN) showed he owes a loan app N5k since 2020.
Explaining how one’s credit history can be ascertained, Leonard wrote: “Some of you don’t know your BVN is literally your identity.
“You use it to borrow money from a licensed loan app and for some reason you didn’t meet up payment since 2020.
“And you applied to leave the country for Canada or America….. The rest is OYO.
“These people will write to Beareau de change and have your bvn blacklisted except you payoff that loan, you don’t know what awaits you.”
DAILY GIST, however, could not independently confirm the authenticity of the story as at the time of this report.
