BankingA Liners field study across traditional banks and digital banks in Nigeria, with real BVNs and NINs.
To open an ALAT by Wema account, you need a phone number or NIN to get started, your BVN, and a live selfie for the facial and liveness check. Exactly which one comes first varies by sign-up path, but expect all three before you're done.
This lines up with the wider Nigerian market. In Liners' 2026 Naira account opening study, NIN was requested in 96 of 100 walk-in bank visits, and BVN blocked the process from starting entirely at 42 of them. Having both ready before you start speeds up account opening at any bank, not just ALAT.
ALAT by Wema had zero facial-scan retakes across every open Liners logged, and one researcher finished this entire flow in under four minutes, the fastest logged open in our 2026 field study. A session can occasionally time out partway through; if that happens, simply restart the application.
