Zenith Bank Plc has become the first Nigerian Bank to
successfully launch its Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) account
control code, *966*911#.
This unique code stops unauthorized transactions and
protects the account holder’s funds in the event of mobile phone, ATM Card or
hardware token loss as well as account details compromise.
Speaking at the launch of the new *966# Eazy Banking account
protection code, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of
Zenith Bank Plc, Mr. Peter Amangbo opined that the Bank has always been at the
forefront of innovating products that enhance customer comfort and safety at
all times.
He also pointed out that all debit transactions on an
account would be prevented once the account holder dials *966*911# from any phone
and follows the text prompts. Such a restriction can only be lifted when the
customer visits a Zenith Bank branch in person.
The Bank MD also stressed that the *966*911# account control
code is a flagship code aimed at further enhancing account security.
