In line with its determination to dominate Africa’s mobile
banking space with the introduction of cutting edge technology-driven products and
services, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Group, leading African financial
institution, has introduced a full-fledged banking platform, tagged UBA
Magic Banking and enabled by dialling *919# within Nigeria.
The USSD code *919# enables
customers to do a multitude of
tasks such as: open UBA accounts, transfer funds to UBA and other banks, buy
airtime, pay bills and access a mini statement.
Speaking about the product, the Bank’s Group Head, Consumer and
Digital Banking, Dr. Adeyinka Adedeji stated: “Not only does this code work on all phone
types, it is fast and convenient and does not require data on the phone to send
money. It also allows a higher transaction limit of up to N1m per day
with the UBA Secure Pass (formerly token)”
Dwelling on the specifics, Adedeji noted
that to send money to a UBA account for example, the user should
dial *919*3# from their phone number registered with UBA
and follow the simple steps prompted by the phone. Also, by dialing *919*32#, the customer
can send money to a UBA Prepaid Card and to other banks by dialing *919*4#.
You can top up your airtime by dialing *919*Amount# and third party
top-up can be done with *919*Phone number*Amount#. For a full range of
services, a customer will dial *919#
The Group Managing Director, UBA Plc, Mr. Kennedy Uzoka also noted
that the introduction of the new products is in line with the Bank’s policy of
democratising banking on the continent by reaching out to the unbanked through
technology driven platforms that are simple, efficient and user friendly. “We
are committed to innovating through products and services in the financial
technology space that will ensure our customers have the best banking
experience with all our service channels, and we have committed huge financial
investments towards achieving this”
