USSD Banking Tips
Never Reveal Your PIN
No genuine bank or provider employee will ever call and ask for your USSD PIN, treat any such request as a scam attempt.
Dial From Your Registered Line
USSD checks the number you're calling from, if it isn't the one on file with your account, the session simply won't authenticate.
Glance at Your Balance Often
A quick, regular balance check is the easiest way to spot suspicious activity on your account before it becomes a bigger problem.
No Internet? No Problem
Every code here runs on any handset, feature phone or smartphone alike, with zero need for a data connection.
