Connect your BDV account
Payments arrive in your account at Banco de Venezuela. For Bolívar Connect to verify them, your account has to be connected to the bank’s reconciliation services.
What you need
Section titled “What you need”| Requirement | What for |
|---|---|
| A business account at Banco de Venezuela (0102) | It is where payments come in. Lookups only work on BDV accounts |
| A phone number enrolled in Pago Móvil BDV | It is the detail your customers use to pay you |
| Enrollment in BDV’s reconciliation APIs | The bank assigns you a key (X-API-Key) bound to your company’s RIF |
What has to be BDV is the account that receives. Whether payments made from other banks show up the same way in BDV’s lookup is one of the points we are confirming with the bank (see below).
