MTN Nigeria ban subscribers buying recharge and data via Bank account




MTN Nigeria has blocked its subscribers from recharging their mobile phones or buying data using the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) codes.

This happened after the telecoms giant allegedly cut back on the commissions it pays out to banks and fintechs on the sales of airtime and data.

What it means

This means that subscribers cannot recharge their lines or buy data plans using the USSD codes particular to their banks.

Several banks have sent notifications to the customers after they made efforts to recharge via USSD code, My MTNapp, and FinTech firms like FETS.
