GTBank 737 allows you to instantly recharge your phone by dialling *737*Amount# on
a line associated with your bank account. For example, if you wanted to recharge your
phone with N900, you dial *737*500# on your associated phone line and your phone is
credited with N900 while your bank account is debited the same amount of money. I applaud this service as it provides a very fast and available means of topping up.
However, I believe the service has made recharging dangerously too easy to effect. What
if someone maliciously converted all your cash at bank into calling credit? I think the transaction should be PIN-protected. How could you just dial an USSD and
your account is instantly charged?

U can only recharge from your account on your REGISTERED NUMBER with the bank. If the mobile number is no associated with you bank account no,you can't use it.

I see wat op means.... U might lose your fone and someone cud try his luck converting ur cash to credit ... Then transferring it to his sim (if the original owner hasn't used credit transfer b4 d perp cud easily change d default pin)

The op said dat... Line associated with your account

I agree with the OP. GTBank should add at least two features to the 737 service.

1. PIN feature.
2. Confirmation.

The PIN feature is needful to prevent unauthorised and malicious use by a third party.

After the request, the user should be required to confirm the transaction.

If these two features are not added, this service should be considered a simple, unsafe contraption.

i just tried it and it worked! but i tried with n200 sha. very nice concept but they really need to include a pin code. boys are not smiling.

By the way, what's the min and max amount one can recharge? Anyone got an idea?

not working on glo

Perhaps, it could be N100 and N5,000 respectively.

Anyone who picks your phone would be scamming himself. I believe you would only be able to recharge that phone line registered to your account and not any other phone line[number]

What if the phone picked had your registered line on it?

Only if the service had PIN and confirmation features!
