Good day esteemed First bank customers, Do you know It is now possible for you to deactivate ussd service on your Sim in case your phone gets stolen? Oh yes!!!! The magic code is *894*911# All you have to do is dial *894*911# from any phone and you will be asked to input the phone number of the sim that was stolen and the ussd service will be deactivated automatically. For further enquiries on this service, please drop your questions. Thanks #YouFirst. Mynd44 2 Likes |

dingbang: Fraudsters will capitalize on this flaw. I haven't figured it out yet but they will. There should be a personalized PIN to enable deactivation or activation. For example, *894*911*0000*08060000000#. That way, only the owner of that number who has the PIN can deactivate or activate the service. 3 Likes |

dingbang: Here's a simple example... *pocohantas disables USSD on mugu's account by dialling *894*911#. *pocohantas dials mugu & introduces herself as a First Bank staff from the head office who has noticed a problem / potential hack on his account. *Mugu tries an online transaction & finds this to be true. (at this point, Mugu panics & his guard is down) *pocohantas blows more "foneh" & eventually asks mugu to provide his bank PIN as final step / verification. *Mugu complies. *pocohantas redials *894*911# & reactivates Mugu's USSD service. *Mugu verifies this & thanks her. 3 hours later Mugu starts receiving debit alerts... 9 Likes 1 Share |

Very good... I don't use firstbank so I'm good |

LuciferKristi:its actually good to ask questions just like I posted. A fraudster cannot reactivate a blocked number through *894*911# code, once its blocked, it can't be unblocked unless the customer visits the branch to unblock it. You will agree with me that a fraudster cannot go to the branch to reactivate back a customer's blocked line as she will be arrested on sight. So you see, your analogy isn't possible. By the way, first bank is not responsible for a customer who reveals his or her secret information to an unknown person and Firstbank will not call a customer to reveal sensitive details. The bank educates her customers on this every single day never to reveal sensitive information. Please try to ask questions rather than assuming. 2 Likes |

dingbang: Drop the full details then rather than hold some back. Your first post doesn't say much. My example was based on the insufficient information you provided. @bolded, are you saying pocohantas is a fraudster? ![]() ![]() 3 Likes |

chloride6:visit the nearest first bank branch, its done at branch level. |
Re: A Nairalander Explains How To Block USSD Service To First Bank Customers by chloride6: 2:10pm On Oct 10, 2018 |
dingbang: okay |
Re: A Nairalander Explains How To Block USSD Service To First Bank Customers by chloride6: 2:26pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
dingbang: I am currently at a first bank branch. They said it can't be done. |

dingbang: do you really mean there's no PIN needed for deactivaton ? if so, any mischievous person can deactivate a random/known person's ability to transfer funds and the account owner keeps going in and out of bank. |
Re: A Nairalander Explains How To Block USSD Service To First Bank Customers by dingbang(m): 5:48pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
dragnet:but I wonder why someone will want to randomly deactivate a number belonging to a random customer when he or she doesn't even know the number the customer used for receiving alerts. Besides, deactivation is only done once and can't be done again for the next three months. |
Re: A Nairalander Explains How To Block USSD Service To First Bank Customers by dragnet: 7:59pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
dingbang:You don't need to wonder why, mischief makers don't follow logic or reason. so if a phone is stolen a second, the owner is at risk ? |
Re: A Nairalander Explains How To Block USSD Service To First Bank Customers by dingbang(m): 8:11pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
dragnet:with this feature, the owner doesn't need to worry about his/her funds being cleared. Its deactivated automatically. |
Re: A Nairalander Explains How To Block USSD Service To First Bank Customers by dragnet: 9:36pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
dingbang:You said deactivation is done once in 3 months, that means if a phone is stolen a second time after the first deactivation, the owner can't deactivate it? |
Re: A Nairalander Explains How To Block USSD Service To First Bank Customers by dingbang(m): 10:09pm On Oct 11, 2018 |
dragnet:customer can.. By dialling the first contact number and telling them to block his lines. |

A 4 pin security pin should be created for this. Otherwise, Hackers that already have details of your account will block you from using USSD codes and finish you under a few minutes. |

I made a transaction from the app. (QR payment). It wasn't successful, but I was debited 1800 naira twice (3600). It happened this afternoon and I'm yet to get a refund. How do I reach customer care to get my money back? |
