Even with all these, Nigerian hackers will still break in your account and get the money, because our banking system is too poros and weak.
Best thing to do, after applying all the op recommend, is limit the amount you can transfer at a time with your bank app to the minimum, use your ATM for larger transfers and try not to lose your phone.


You dey cap rubbish. Wetin you sabi about hacking. You think all those stories you hear about people money missing is performed by hackers abi ? B4 your money go comot for your bank account without your permission in Nigeria you either don make mistake or person for bank do am, nothing like hacker oga.

Most Nigerias are unnecessary careless.

Just lock ur sim card by creating a pin for it and Incase of lost of phone, just dial *966*911# on anybody's phone. Automatically your account would be on PND and as such no baga can debit ur account until you visit ur bank for lift.

You said *966*911#

How will they know the account to put on a PND mode, since their is no space for inputting account number?

Please how do you lock your sim.

That sim lock is unbreakable, ones your sim is locked even hushpuppy can't hack your account

1. Lock your phone: Locking your phone makes it difficult for thieves to access your banking app.

2 Lock your sim card: If your phone is locked, a thief can remove the sim card and put it in another phone, using ussd to steal your money. If you lock your sim card, it becomes useless to thieves.

3. Stop putting your ATM card at the back cover of your phone. That's double tragedy if your phone lands in the hand of a thief.

4. Block your bank account when at risk: If your phone is missing, or you start getting debit alerts because of theft, block your account. You can borrow your neighbour's phone and use ussd to block your bank account no.

5. Stop sharing your ATM card/banking pin with others.


Lies...all of our commercial banks are thieves,their father Emiefele and his predecessors taught them how to be criminals

Check your sim pack, there is a manual there. You will see the default PIN, use it first and change the PIN. If you no longer have the pack, call the customer line to assist you with the default PIN. Then go to the settings on your phone and look carefully, you will see an option for it.
Make sure you have your PUK no before you start. Because if you enter the wrong pin 3 times, your sim will be blocked and you need the PUK no to unblock it.
Thanks for your explicit explanations. I really appreciate. God bless you immensely.
