Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) banking codes sometimes referred to as "quick codes'’ is a type of banking that allows people to carry out bank transactions by simply dialling a shortcode on the phone.
While making transactions with USSD codes, the use of the internet is not required which makes USSD banking accessible to everyone.
To perform transactions with a bank's USSD code, customers must have a bank account linked to their mobile telephone number.
Customers don’t need to go to a bank to register for the USSD code. Registration is done with mobile phones as long as customers can provide a bank's debit card and Biometric Verification Number (BVN).
Various banking transactions can be carried out via the bank’s USSD codes such as buying airtime, opening a bank account, checking your account balance, transferring money to your bank and other banks, and payment of utility bills, etc.
