GET/api/v1/general/account

Resolve a Nigerian bank account number (NUBAN) to the name registered on the account. A lightweight name check — pass an account number and its bank code, get back the account holder’s name.

Headers

Header	Required	Description
`Authorization`	Yes	Your app’s secret key, sent as-is — not `Bearer`.
`AppId`	Yes	The App ID from your dashboard.

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`account_number`	string	Yes	A valid 10-digit NUBAN account number.
`bank_code`	string	Yes	The bank’s numeric code (e.g. `011`). Get the full list from Fetch Banks.

Response

Returns an entity with the confirmed account_number and the resolved account_name.

This is a name-resolution check only. For a full identity payload (BVN-linked names, date of birth, address) tied to the account, use the KYC NUBAN lookup (GET /api/v1/kyc/nuban).

Errors

Code	Meaning
`400`	Invalid request parameters — `account_number` or `bank_code` missing or malformed.
`401`	Unauthorized — check your key and `AppId` (no `Bearer` prefix).
`404`	Could not resolve the account name. Check the parameters or try again.
`429`	Too many requests — back off and retry.
