What is the UBA transfer code?
UBA transfer code is the USSD code that you can dial from your mobile phone to carry out transactions from your UBA bank account. Good enough, the UBA transfer code defies the traditional method of banking in which you need to visit the bank physically before you can conduct banking activities. Unlike conventional banking, you can use the UBA USSD transfer code to transact after the normal business hours have ended, on weekends and holidays. That is why it is called magic banking.
The UBA magic banking code is *919#. With the UBA USSD code *919#, customers can do the following:
- Account Opening
- Fund Transfer
- Airtime Purchase
- Purchase of Flight Tickets
- Check Account Balance
- Access Mini Bank Statement
- Pay Other Bills
Account Opening
If you have been contemplating opening a bank account with UBA, you don’t need to worry again. Account opening has been simplified to the extent that by mere dialing *919# on your mobile phone, you can open an account with UBA. You will get your account number will be sent to you by SMS message through the number you use o dial the magic code.
However, you will need to visit any of the UBA business offices before you can enjoy the full benefits of the new account. Also, you need to go with a means of identification such as a driver’s license, international passport, national identity card, or voter card to have your BVN linked to your new account.
The benefits of *919# Account Opening include the following:
No Queues: I remember those days when one needed to queue for a long time before customers can be attended to. But with the use of this UBA *919# magic banking code, there is no need to queue to have a bank account opened. This saves you quality time which you can use for other productive activities.
No Form to Fill: You can spare your pen this time around. You don’t need to start filling form whereby you will be asked those repetitive questions such as Surname, Middle Name, First Name, Date of Birth, Place of Birth, Nationality, etc.
High-Interest Rate: Because you now have a bank account, there is no need to keep your cash at home. This reduces the risk of theft. At the same time, you will enjoy interest on your deposited amount.
Online Banking: Just the same way you use the UBA magic code to open your account, you can be operating the account without the need to visit the bank. This can be done through the use of a UBA transfer code.
Maximum Deposit: The maximum amount you can deposit into this account per transaction is N20,000. This means that if you want to deposit more than N20,000, you may need to split the transactions into a multiple of N20,000 or less amount.
Maximum Account Balance: The maximum account balance allowed for this account is N200,000. However, customers have the option of upgrading their accounts so that they can enjoy higher transaction limits.
The UBA USSD Code that is meant specifically for the opening of a new account is *919*20#. If you just dial the UBA transfer code, you will need to follow other instructions from the customer service.
Funds Transfer
With the use of the UBA transfer code, customers can make transfers from their UBA account. Different transfer customers can make include the following:
Send money to a UBA Account: To transfer funds from your account to another UBA account, simply dial *919*3*account number*amount# (eg *919*3*0215225XXX*2000# from the phone you registered with UBA when you opened your account. Note that I only used “XXX” to mask the last 3 digits of the account number so that I don’t indicate somebody’s account number. In the example, it means that you are transferring N2,000.
Send money to a UBA Prepaid Card: To send money to a UBA Prepaid Card from your UBA account, simply dial *919*32# from the phone you registered with UBA
Transfer money to other banks in Nigeria: How can I transfer money from UBA to other banks? To send funds from your account to other banks, simply dial *919*4*account number*amount# (eg *919*4*0265825XXX*5000# from the phone you registered with UBA when you opened your account. Note that I only used “XXX” to mask the last 3 digits of the account number so that I don’t indicate somebody’s account number. In the example, it means that you are transferring N5,000.
The benefit of using the UBA USSD code to transfer funds is are; you don’t need any high-tech phone to make the transfer. You can use any mobile phone. The transaction is very fast and convenient.

The transfer is not limited to UBA accounts. You can actually transfer to other banks in Nigeria. Customers can use the UBA code for transfer to the tune of one million Naira per day.
Airtime Purchase
Some people think they can use the UBA USSD code for transfer only. The truth is that you can actually use the *919# magic banking code to top up airtime on your phone and for others.
If you want to top up your registered mobile number, simply dial *919*amount# (eg *919*1500#) to recharge N1,500.
To top up other telephone lines apart from your registered mobile number, simply dial *919*Phone Number*amount# (eg *919*08029536XXX*1500#) to recharge N1,500. I masked the last three digits of the telephone number. You need to enter the complete telephone number of the beneficiary when you want to top up his/her line.
This service is available to MTN, Glo, Airtel, and 9mobile. It is important to note that you can only use your registered mobile number with UBA to buy airtime. You will agree with me that this is more convenient and faster than when you need to visit a particular recharge card vendor before you can recharge your phone.
