Hello Nairalanders
I noticed something that has been a source of concern to me....
The aim of this thread is to find out whether it is a normal thing which I never noticed in the past or I'm the only one affected.

My account numbers are connected to my AIRTEL line, I receive alerts and use USSD code for online banking on the line. Recently I noticed that each time I want to do any transaction using USSD code I would be notified that I have insufficient funds. The fact that AIRTEL is not my main line, I barely recharge it coupled with the fact that their tariff is higher than the other line I use.
So each time I see the notification, I would recharge before doing the transaction. I assumed I just needed to have airtime and that I won't be charged for transacting.

However, I just realized that AIRTEL has been charging me #10 each time I use USSD code for any form of transaction including transfer, airtime recharge, account balance enquiry etc.

Fellow Nairalanders.... Are you experiencing the same thing on Airtel or any other network?

I'M EXPERIENCING IT TOO ON 9MOBILE

I didn't notice this also until Tuesday when I wanted to transact on my acc.
Insufficient fund just pop up I was surprised, I even tried using email moni and mobile banking all to no avail. I had to get a recharge card then do what I wanna do.

Of course it does...
9mobile charges #30 just to check balance.

This is what I get whenever I try to do it with useless glo line.

If it is airtime that is been charged, such charges are from your service provider. However, if the charges are been deducted from your bank balance, then that is from your bank.

That N10 charge is common on my Access Account whenever I check my balance. I'm not so sure of recharge because I rarely recharge from the account.

However, no charges of any sort on my UBA account.

This is peculiar to UBA USSD.

Thanks guys.... I doubt mtn charges for such. I'll just switch to mtn.

Lol. UBA is even charging on top of the one Telecoms are charging.
Funny thing is that you will not get SMS alert on such debits. You need to check your account statement.
As someone who regularly checks his balance everyday to confirm if clients paid, I got charged exorbitantly plus the credit that is deducted from my line.
I am not aware of any notice made by the bank on such practices.

For Glo, no charges

Yes, they charged me about N30 to transfer cash, I think N10 to recharge a line. That's why I dusted off my hardware token and resumed my online transfers jejely.

No, but my useless bank charges me. UBA charges for everything...

Good morning by the bank guards: N5
Good afternoon by the bank guards: N5
Welcome to UBA: N5

The bank door music/speech: N5

9mobile charges #30 just to check balance.

EEERRHH?

MTN charges

So if you want to use internet banking won't you use data to browse? Same as USSD banking you will have to use your credit to browse your account... No be network provider get bank

Yes..glo charges me even if the transaction is unsuccessful

I want to believe the charges is a more like an agreement between the network providers and the bank. (Each time I use airtel and etisalat on) Fidelity, Access, they deduct N25 but free with diamondbank

Eeya

I use AIRTEL and 30 naira is deducted when I make a transaction

Yes, UBA does

MTN Doesn't charge me even when I recharge another person.

Bank wish birthday msg and collect sms charge so

Glo Charges #4 Per Transactions, Access And First Banks Does Not Charge For Checking Account Balance!
