USSD Codes, Sort Codes, and Swift Codes of Nigerian Banks (2021) (Updated)
USSD CODE
Table of Contents
Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), sometimes referred to as “Quick Codes” or “Feature codes”, is a communications protocol used by GSM cellular telephones to communicate with the mobile network operator’s computers. Usually, USSD codes start with an ‘*’ and end with an ‘#’, depending on the setup. The banks use these quick codes to bring banking services such as transfers, balance checks, bills payments, etc. closer to their customers via their phone.
SORT CODE
The sort code is a number usually used to identify both the bank and the branch where an account is held. The sort code is usually used when transferring funds from one account in one bank branch to another branch of the bank or another bank.
If you have a cheque (check) book for your bank account, you can find your sort code at the bottom of the cheque (check) leaf – the first of the three set of numbers (it starts with the bank code). I have seen people searching for the exact code of an exact branch, there’s really no need – the head office code of your bank can also suffice.
SWIFT CODE
A SWIFT code is a set of 9 digits that represents a bank branch/head office You’ll need to use one when sending money internationally.
