  • The type of recharge you want to buy is finished while you need it urgently
  • Your friend may just want you to send them a recharge card

  • And many more.

Now, in this post today, you will know the working USSD code of all banks in Nigeria. For this reason, please stay tuned and start enjoying the rest of the reading.

What we faced when the bank code was not invented

In the past years ago when nothing like a bank recharge code was invented, people experienced inconvenience in life. Perhaps, the service of transferring airtime between two sim cards existed in the past years ago especially Glo, i.e, Glo to Glo transfer.

To recharge your phone from your bank account, you will have to go outside the streets and buy a recharge card slip. That’s not fast because the seller may keep you waiting for a long time, the recharge may not available, etc.

Unhappily, in the olden days as well, the feature of recharging airtime or data directly from your bank account wasn’t launched by any notable network providers in Nigeria. But for now, features of recharging airtime from bank accounts have been established by all banks in Nigeria.

All banks in Nigeria have now connected with the top telecommunications companies in Nigeria to seamlessly provide data and airtime recharge services for their customers free of charge.

With the official USSD code of your bank, you can buy airtime and data to any type of sim card anytime.
