What is Access Bank Code?
The official Access Bank code is *901#. The USSD code gives Access Bank’s customers easy and quick access to banking services in Nigeria. With this code, you can get a lot of things done anywhere, anytime, without the need to visit the bank’s physical location. This saves you a lot of time and effort since you can perform a variety of transactions and operations without leaving your comfort zone.
The Bank deployed the code with the aim to increase financial inclusion. This is in line with the Central Bank’s financial inclusion strategy aimed at reducing the percentage of financially excluded Nigerians. The *901# Quick Banking service contributed immensely to that, as it now gives banking power to anyone, anywhere. The service is easy to use, and very quick. For example, when doing a money transfer the beneficiary account will be credited instantly, and they will receive a notification alert.
What more? Whether you are using the latest iPhone, Android, or simple feature phone (kpalasa, in the street lingo.) you can have access to the *901# Quick Banking Service. And you can use the service on your MTN, Glo, Airtel, 9mobile and other network operators. It doesn’t use internet connection, and you can use it in the remotest part of Nigeria. You only need the phone number linked to your Access bank account to access the service.
To access the Quick Banking Service, you need to have some requirements.
