Access Bank’s USSD code (*901#) allows you to transact and experience banking services conveniently from your mobile phone, without the use of airtime or data. But what happens if your mobile device gets stolen or missing? How can you deactivate the Access Bank USSD code easily to avoid theft on your missing phone?

This service is available for 24 hours and makes banking faster and more convenient, but what some of you don’t understand is that USSD banking can be compromised. I know you will be wondering how… well, I’d break that down in another post. Nevertheless, what you should know is that your money can be transferred when you misplace your device, and mostly, this happens via USSD banking. People who have misplaced their Access Bank ATM cards can totally relate.

Moreover, USSD banking is known to make banking transactions swift and easy, but to what use is this when I’m being charged for doing the simplest thing such as checking my bank account balance? Using the USSD code comes at a price (see screenshot below).

  • When you retrieve your missing or stolen SIM card, you can proceed to contact your bank either through their contact mediums or visit the bank in person to reactivate your blocked Access bank USSD code.

Conclusion:

There you go! As you can see from the post above, you can deactivate your USSD code with or without your registered number.
