But note that i will always update this post with new updates or changes made.
How to transfer money using uba mobile banking code
There you can transfer money from uba bank account using uba mobile banking code, one is UBA to UBA account, and the other is UBA to other bank account.
This process involves the use of the uba transfer code.
The two have different Ussd code in transferring money.
Let’s start with the first code which is how to send money from UBA to UBA account.
From UBA to UBA account using uba transfer code
To send money from your uba account to another uba account, simply dial *919# and select option 5 which is to send money.
You will see choose payment method, which states;
- 1. UBA account
- 2. UBA prepaid card
Mostly, it is usually the first option which is UBA Account that you should select.
When you select your option, for unregistered user you will see the option to register your sim number.
However, if you’ve registered and gotten a pin number like i stated above, go ahead and continue.
Next is to type in the amount, followed by the recipient account number and your pin number to finalize the UBA money transfer.
Please check the name you typed properly that it matched your recipient name, before clicking on the send button.
So this is how to transfer money from uba using the popular uba mobile transfer code.
From UBA to other account
In the case that you want to send money from your uba bank account to another bank like like zenith bank, gtbank, access bank etc, the procedure is quite different.
To send money from uba to other bank, simply dial *919*4# or *919*4*account number*amount# on your mobile phone.
This is followed by entering your pin number to send the money to the recipient.
Let’s say you want to send N60000 to chudi, you should dial *919*4*0023456886*60000#, next on the screen is to type in your four digit pin number and finally click on the send button.
NOTE When using the UBA transfer code to transfer money from your account to another account, please don’t be in too much haste to finalize it.
Properly check the name on your screen before clicking on the send button.
I’ve seen someone who made a mistake by transferring money to a wrong person.
You should relax and type in the requirements but don’t waste too much time, else the transaction will be canceled.
Uba mobile transfer code to other banks is *919*4# or you can simply dial *919# and select transfer.
Why i prefer to dial the three digit code is because sometimes banks do change their ussd code options, and you may type *919*4# and it is no longer for money transfer.
The transfer limit for this is one hundred thousand(N100,000) per day.
To transfer higher than this amount, go to uba and request for a token.
Apart from the Uba money transfer code, there other codes that are very helpful in terms of quick banking.
Let’s start with airtime purchase.
How to buy airtime from uba using the uba ussd code
To buy airtime from your uba account using uba ussd code or probably the uba transfer code of *919# to your number registered with the bank, simply dial *919*Amount# on your mobile phone.
To buy airtime from your uba account to another number or for others, dial *919* Phone number* Amount#
For Example
You want to buy N1000 airtime for Mike, dial *919*08022222222*1000#. The limit for airtime purchase is N5000 per day.
How to check uba account balance
There’s no need of going to the bank looking for how to check uba account balance, you can easily do that on your phone and at your comfort zone without going to the bank.
This involves the use of the uba ussd code or the uba code for checking of account balance.
Every transaction you made, your account balance will be displayed on your screen.
But in the case that you urgently needed to check and know the amount left in the bank, then use the code below to do it.
To check uba account balance, dial *919*00# which is uba account balance code and your balance will display on your screen.
You can as well dial *919# and select the option that states check account balance.
Note this attracts a fee of N15 per check, so please don’t over do it.
How to pay bills using uba

To pay bills from your account, dial *919*5# and follow the on screen instruction.
Uba Cardless ATM Withdrawal
UBA cardless atm withdrawal is the process of withdrawing money from any uba atm without the use of the atm card.

Better still dial *919*30*Amount# and follow up.
