So if I don't have airtime I can't use USSD service. Just same as I don't have data I can't use bank app. Seriously this country has no love for anything and anyone

Omoh, e choke. Your data finish lasan and you don't have airtime. But you have money in the bank, then you are stranded o. grin

Why can't banks bear the cost of ordinary ussd charges?

Either they liase with service providers for reduced rates or they stop the damn alerts altogether.

Online banks are now a thing and if any traditional bank tries messing with my airtime, na to kukuma close the damn account immediately.

Lol that's to you infact my Wema Bank app or any of my Fintech av Neva fail me unless there's a general downtime and it will surely hit the USSD also..

That means if I don't have airtime, I can't use USSD to buy airtime from my account. This is not too good
true...
I believe they are doing this, so banks won't be owing them(telecommunication) or what should be the reason?
Re: NCC Asks Banks To Deduct USSD Transaction Fees From Users’ Airtime by nwirinedu(m): 7:51pm On Jun 03, 2025
So customers have to pay up the Telco charges banks won't pay?
These criminals steal our monies and extort us now govt is saying we have to pay up their debts as well.
What an insult to the populace.

Very soon the banks will have liberty to steal your money.
Stealing customers funds will be legalized.

Sensible.
It's not sensible. You'll find out the day you want to do transaction to have money to buy airtime but you can't because you have no airtime.

Banks charge their customers to wish them Happy Birthdays. That's a greedy enterprise.

USSD is still very,very relevant.
You can run out of data at anytime and without ussd you will not be able to buy data or conduct any financial transaction.
So,yes, it's a relevant and innovative tool to have

It's nice if it's only applicable to successful transactions
It's not nice at all. It simply means that you can't do transactions if you have no enough airtime on your phone. This is not right.

There should be notifications via both app and text. App notifications are free and convenient for both the bank and customers. By default, all customers should receive app alerts, with the option to enable or disable text notifications based on their preference

I use USSD even with the fact that I have phone with app. Sometimes you don't have time and just want to go the shortest route possible.
