Mobile Banking offers flexible banking service on your cellphone. Cellphone Banking using unstructured supplementary services data (USSD) code enables you to use any cellphone to access the service by dialing *120*3279# to perform banking on the go. Your service provider won’t charge you a dime for this transaction.
What Is USSD?
USSD simply means Unstructured Supplementary Services Data. It is a technology similar to the Short Message Service (SMS). USSD is available on all South African GSM networks. It’s more secure compared to the SMS because it doesn’t store any typed information on the cellphone.
The USSD service is based on session, which means that you will be validated in each session and your transaction information can be saved.
The duration of each session is determined by the service providers and it allows you to transact within 2-3 minutes. If you waste too much time your connection might be lost or the session will be timed out.
If you’ve already typed information in or made a menu selection before you lost connection or session times out, you can still continue your transaction at the point where you left off by redialling the USSD Code within 5 minutes of the disconnection or timeout.
