Fielding questions from the viewers, Zuby mentioned that the minimum requirements to own a V account was to own a Bank Verification Number (BVN), for the Nigerians abroad, in addition to a Nigerian phone line for BVN validation. He said that plans were in place to enable people outside the country to validate with international numbers. He went on to speak about how to take money out of the account, giving different ways to do this; with the prominent ones being transfers, in different volumes depending on your KYC (Know Your Customer) level. He then reiterated that there were no charges for transfers or alerts, saying this was a way to reduce stress on clients. He also mentioned the carless withdrawal system as an interim measure before the ATM cards would be rolled out post-COVID-19.

Speaking on funding the account, he talked about using any other payment platforms or mobile banking apps to send money to VFD Microfinance Bank.
