Keep your Bank Account Contact Phone Number Safe. by Nobody: 2:31pm On Oct 30, 2014
Nigeria is modernizing mobile banking and transactions. This is why you must keep your contact phone number with your bank safe as it is linked to your bank account.

With GTBank, you only need to dial a USSD code to recharge you phone directly from your bank account in just about 5 seconds.

Other Banks have their own codes.

There is also mobile transactions in which you can transfer from your account to another account using your phone.

For some transactions to be completed, it has to be secured by SMS to your phone number, but we do not have private lifestyle like the US who live their lives in privacy. We may be chasing the developed nations, if we do not have their lifestyle of privacy, we could fall prey to our smart fellows who we interact with daily and the phone thieves.

I hav bn using u-mobile since 2o12, to pay my bills, transfer funds, load my devices etc. I am not using d default pin first given to me. I have changed pins abt three times for security reasons. I dont write d pins down. I hav them in my daan head. How wil my fon contact be used then to suck my few coins out thier holes dude? angry pls tell me . Even with that, all my fons' bank apps and related details are on stealth mode. U can never see them widout thier respective pins and genetically encoded graphic signatures and thumbmark? Secondly, if u steal any of my fons, the device will wait, as u off d fon, it takes yur picture and send it with yur location to my wife's fon and email. As u power it on with a different sim it repeats d ghost snap and forward d data again to appropriate quaters, dis time not my wife's email and fon, a nokia special site linked to mtn and airtel. U still hav fears? Tell me yur own reasons pls.

I perfectly understand him.
Here's what he's trying to say:
GT Bank has a method you can buy airtime using the sim you use to receive alerts from the bank.
All you have to do is Dial *737*amount# and your line will be credited with that amount.
It's very wrong.
No privacy.
It's just like MTN share and sell but without a private code.
Mr A had 5000 naira in his account and someone collected his phone and joking typed *737*4000# and Mr A's line is credited with 4K airtime...
No refunds!
If you have 20k and *737*20000# is typed on your phone(with the sim you receive bank alerts with), then you're automatically buying 20k airtime.
It's a one-click process.
You won't be asked to confirm the transaction before it's processed.
I hope you all understand smiley

You are talking about Internet Banking. Even in Internet banking, if some one have access to your phone, they can change your password if they have your user name. Remember your phone is used to authenticate transactions.

Not until you answer some security questions correctly

I was never asked any question. They only send an authentication number to my phone and that's all.
