Parablesonmarble:You folks are so quick to adjudge that Nigeria is not yet ripe for this and that which is either wrong to say or insecurities and fear playing out if i may go by your cliche, a lot of countries that doesn't have the size of our GDP implemented this successfully which begs the question. Are they more riper than we |

Each transaction bank charges, they should share the charges with the telecom operators. Greedy Nigerian banks. In those days, saving accounts owners get interest but this days bank keep cutting your money. 1 Like |

Are the telecommunication companies not being paid anything at all for USSD? They cannot be forced to provide USSD for free. |

mechanics:...mobile app? for only those who have smartphones and data inside. What about all those guys who keep on losing their smartphones, or those that can't be bothered using smart phones (wasting money on it and entering into the slavery of buying data everytime) Or those that just don't know how to use smartphones and are very OK with simple phones? |

uuzba:Yes, I understand your point, that's why I said the banks should still negotiate with them. |

Hi Guys, Guess what? Ecobank's USSD session is absolutely free. Yes, FREE!!! To confirm, dial *326# and follow the prompts to open an Xpress Account and transact on it. The Xpress Account is a digital account that u can open just from ur phone. Ur phone number becomes ur account number, without the first zero, e.g 803XXXXXXX. It can be funded from other accounts as well as carry out transactions from it (e.g transfers, pay bills, buy airtime, etc) using USSD or Ecobank's Mobile App. Please before arguing, try this first. Thanks. |

Can you imagine that my bank charge me 10naira for checking my balance through ussd code and they fail to give the telco a cut out of this 10naira. Nigerians are been ripped off from left to right, up and down.... 1 Like |

Is that the reason Glo has not been opening my First Bank account since morning? |
Re: USSD: Telcos Threaten To Disconnect Banks by OlujobaSamuel: 3:14pm On Nov 28, 2019 |
abbasajao:Yes some still do. Polaris bank charged my mum, I asked them on twitter, it was first denied that they don't, claiming it was for balance check, when I gave evidence, they then accepted that they charged for it. I asked them why and is it a regulatory charges or just their bank because I have no such experience with other banks, the twitter handler refused to answer.

Arizonaguy: I respect your argument. You write like a reasonable person from a sane clime but please, check these countries you talking about. They have structures and strong institutions in place. Nigeria might be big with high GDP and stronger economy but its obvious to all and sundry that these things are not built on rock solid foundations. If we can find a way of building strong institutions rather than strong individuals and allow these institutions dictate according to the laws of Economics and peculiarity of our nation, then we are 'riper' but if we are still about personal aggrandizement in almost all we do, then we are way off tangent. Even, Buhari that is trying his best possible to raise strong institutions by implementing TSA, Integrated Pay Structure and other innovative stuff is still far off because as long as we still have prisoners of conscience in this country that are granted bail and not released, then he is trying to undermine the Judiciary as an institution. Show me a strong country in this world that is not built on strict adherence to rules and regulations as stipulated by the constitution and interpreted by the Judiciary. Finally, I'm not an Economist, Public Administrator or a Financial Manager but as a commoner, I know bills and taxes are meant to be paid but these excessive taxes, duties, levies and charges introduced all at once with little social benefit to the effect is bearing heavily on me. It is not until I attempt suicide that you should understand that these things are really depressing. 1 Like |

BabaO2: Oga, people are using banks USSD codes for other things ie Bill's payment, transfers etc So, who should bear the cost? Telcos or Customers if you want it to be free? We are not talking about checking your Airtime or data balance here. Those are VAS from Telcos. Anyway, you can use your bank app. |
Re: USSD: Telcos Threaten To Disconnect Banks by BabaO2: 4:56pm On Nov 28, 2019 |
pcicero:That is why it is called service codes delivery platform, it is a platform to enhance your services. Ussd was never designed to be charged. |

Ayt27: Those ones are strictly bank charges. Every damn second you use on ussd, you're being charged at a particular rate. First bank I know charge 4 naira for every 20 seconds |
Re: USSD: Telcos Threaten To Disconnect Banks by tomdon(m): 6:06pm On Nov 28, 2019 |
gabbasin: I think it's 4 naira for every 20 seconds. |

The telecom companies should fvcking disconnect these commercial banks. This is a case of monkey dey work baboon dey chop! And to hell with these telecom companies that want customers to bear the cost of all this sh!t ! |
Re: USSD: Telcos Threaten To Disconnect Banks by seunayantokun(m): 6:39pm On Nov 28, 2019 |
Nigerian banks are rogues. You charge customers for a free-of-charge service and you think that is smartness? The telcos' point is banks must stop milking a cow they don't feed. Full stop. If they must charge for ussd, they must pay the telcos who own the service. 1 Like |

grossintel: That's exactly the problem. Banks have been reaping where they never sowed and they were reaping in Billions hence the Telcos need a bite of the action after all they provide the platform Our Banking is a hinderance to our growth and development, Govt need to do something with this corp of bankers else we go no where. 1 Like |

Parablesonmarble:i understand and agree with your sentiment and i'm not in support of more taxes on the already very vulnerable populace. What i do disagree with is the "we are not yet ripe" cliche i sincerely appreciate your thought bro |
Re: USSD: Telcos Threaten To Disconnect Banks by Parablesonmarble: 6:29pm On Nov 29, 2019 |
Arizonaguy: I appreciate your understanding. I agree I was very sentimental but I just couldn't help it. I live in one of the Lagos Mainland suburb and every evening I look at the faces of the folks around, I see a little bit of hope they had in the morning has been blown away by the heavy, humid breeze of the day. I see them trudging towards grave with hopes completely diminished, in a society where the middle class is wiped out and we have only the haves and have-nots. Government policies do not affect the two classes the same way. Its real tough for those at the lower rung of the ladder, my brother, I tell you, it is rough. Once more, I appreciate your understanding. |
