  • Always available to the bank customer, as it states that it is 24/7.

You may be wondering if the first bank transfer code of *894# is secured?

The answer is YES!!! 

With the five digit pin password, no one can have access to your bank account unless the person have or know the pin number you used.

In the case that your phone was stolen, and which contains the sim number used for the first bank ussd code.

The person won’t have access to your bank account as long as he/she didn’t type the correct pin number you used.

Disadvantage of the ussd code

Aside from the huge benefits derived from the first bank transfer code or probably the mobile ussd code, it comes with lot of disadvantages.

But with extreme caution and security, you don’t need to have any fear in enrolling for the first bank transfer code or any other bank ussd code.

The truth is, you don’t have to trust someone enough to give the person your pin number, be it your partner, brother, sister or even a friend.

I happened to give my younger brother my pin number to transfer money to his account, then i was sick.

What he did afterwards was to buy a sim number which he transfers N1000 or at least N500 airtime to. He will delete the sms notification the bank sent, so that i will not know about the transaction.

I noticed that a sum amount of money was deducted from my account and i didn’t receive any message for it, i had to check my account and found out that almost N3000 was deducted.

I immediately called the customer service to inquire about the deduction as i didn’t receive any notification for it.

I requested for statement of account and i noticed that my account was used for airtime purchase and i don’t know the purchase or the number.

When i dialed that number, it was switched off and i kept of wondering how did it happened.

I realised that my kid brother was the only one that knows my bank pin number.

I interrogated him stainley, and he confessed that it was him and explained how he did it. I forgave him and changed the pin number immediately.

So this can happen to anyone. In terms of money transfer, you will see the recipient name and the bank which the money was transferred to, and this makes it difficult for fraudulent act.

When it comes to bill payment like electricity bill etc, someone can use your account to pay for these bills.

If it is dstv or Gotv, you can detect the user by getting the decoder number the payment was made to, and inquiring from multi choice the name of the user. For others, it is difficult or close to none.

This is one of reason not to trust anyone with your bank account details unless you have a maximum trust and understanding with the person.
