In line with\u00a0its determination to dominate Africa\u2019s mobile banking space with the introduction of cutting edge technology-driven products and services, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Group, leading African financial institution,\u00a0has introduced a full-fledged banking platform, tagged UBA Magic Banking and enabled by dialling *919# within Nigeria.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The USSD code *919# \u00a0enables customers to do a multitude of tasks such as:\u00a0open UBA\u00a0<\/span>accounts,\u00a0 transfer funds to UBA and other banks, buy airtime,\u00a0 pay\u00a0 bills and access a mini statement<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking about the product, the Bank\u2019s Group Head, Consumer and Digital Banking, Dr. Adeyinka Adedeji stated:<\/span>\u00a0\u201cNot 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\u00a0a\u00a0higher transaction limit of up to N1m per day with the UBA Secure Pass (formerly token)\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dwelling on the specifics, Adedeji noted that to send money to a UBA account for example,\u00a0the\u00a0user should dial\u00a0*919*3#<\/b>\u00a0from their phone number \u00a0registered with UBA and follow the simple steps prompted by the phone. Also, by dialing\u00a0*919*32#,<\/b>\u00a0the\u00a0customer can send money to a UBA Prepaid Card and to other banks by dialing\u00a0*919*4#. \u00a0<\/b>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\u00a0*919#<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Group Managing Director, UBA\u00a0Plc, Mr. Kennedy Uzoka also noted that the introduction of the new products is in line with the Bank\u2019s policy of democratising banking on the continent by reaching out to the unbanked through technology driven platforms that are simple, efficient and user friendly. \u201cWe 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\u00a0towards achieving this\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
