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

<Note>
  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

| ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `400` | Invalid request parameters — `account_number` or `bank_code` missing or malformed. |
| `401` | Unauthorized — check your key and `AppId` (no `Bearer` prefix).                    |
