Unity Bank Unveils New Code to Tackle eBanking Fraud

Unity Bank Plc has unveiled a new code on its USSD platform that completely puts the customer in control of his Bank Account against any eBanking fraud.

This is in a bid to safeguard its e-banking platforms with enhanced safety and security features.

The new code which is 77999*phone number # allows customers to block access to their Bank Accounts, hence without recourse to the Bank, a customer is able to prevent and protect his Bank Account from unauthorised access using any mobile device if fraud is suspected.

As part of the robust feature of the Bank’s USSD platform, Bank customers can directly initiate the new Code and successfully block the account from a third-party mobile device.

To unblock the Bank account, customers can walk into any branch of Unity Bank closest to them and request reactivation.

As a result, customers are thus able to exercise unlimited control with the new code as the Account Blockade can be initiated from any phone to prevent any unauthorised transaction or access to the Bank Account.

The blockade can also be initiated to stem risks arising from the loss of debit card or incidences of unauthorized transactions.
