I Bank with Guaranty Trust Bank PLC because they’re the most innovative bank in Nigeria and I’m sure many would agree. GTBank has consistently introduced products and services that improve and exceeds customers expectation, centered around ease of use, 24/7 accessibility to funds and directly discouraging use of cash or banking halls.
Some of the most popular services we have highlighted in other posts are:
- GTBank Internet Banking which gives you full access to your account over the web or GTBank mobile application. The service fully is secured by a 124 data encryption Token and linked to Debit / Credit cards enables purchases online.
- Airtime Purchase directly from your GTBank account to your mobile phone or other phone number by simply dialing a USSD code. No internet access or credit is required for this.
GTBank money transfer code.
GTBank advertising campaign to promote the 737 service was one of the most porpular with a catchy song other banks customers also sang to. It Introduced money transfer to any account number without internet.
To transfer money in the past, you would normally use any of these three options:
- Visit the bank and fill out a deposit slip and pay cash to the teller.
- Use an ATM machine to initiate the transfer.
- Send funds online using the GTBank mobile app or Internet banking website.
A forth method which will allow you send funds to any account number in Nigeria from your phone without the use of internet has been introduced by GTBank. Just like the short code *737* amount # that allowed airtime purchase, transfers can now be made to other banks in two ways.
How to transfer money from GTBank to GTBank account without internet (Using USSD Short Code)
Sending money GTBank to GTBank? Dial *737*1*Amount*Account number# – Enter the account number you’re sending money to, not your account.
Example: TO send 5000 to your friends GTBank account , dial *737*1*5000* Your friends Account number #
You will now be required to enter a 4 digit pin which can be created for first time users by dialing *737*5#. The PIN is used for future transaction to complete any transfer.
Transfer money from GTBank to Other Banks without internet (Using USSD Short Code)
Sending Money Gtbank to Other banks in Nigeria? Dial *737*2* Amount*Account number# – Enter the account number you’re sending money to, not your account.
Example: To send 5000 to your friends First Bank account , dial *737*2*5000* Your friends Account number #
You will be required to enter the 4 digit pin to complete the transfer. From May 2017, GTBank Requires customers to create their 4 digit PIN by first Dialing *737*5# and entering required ATM Card details. After this is done, the Created PIN can now be used to authenticate transactions on 737.
NOTE: You can only initiate transfers from your mobile number that is currently linked to your GTBank account. This is the number you receive bank credit / debit alert SMS on. Do visit the bank to update your contact information, fill out a form if you wish to link any new phone number to your account.
Gtbank 737 Transfer Limit
You can only send a cumulative total of 200,000 Naira Per day using the Gtbank 737 Code. You have to wait until Midnight / next day to transfer more.
This security measure is to prevent unauthorized access to your funds, theft etc. To transfer more than 200,000 Naira use the GTBank Money App or Internet Banking.
USSD Code Security and concerns.
In pigin they say “sweet thing dey purge”, this applies to this service because it creates a new account vulnerability concern that has been limited but user still need to be aware of.
Do not share your transfer PIN with anyone (not even family or friends) because a simple dial of few codes on your phone can send out up to 200,000 from your account.
Mobile Phone security is important. Ensure your mobile phone is password protected and you keep ATM Cards secure at all times since the last for digits printed on it can be used to reset your transfer PIN.
Lost phones / ATM Cards should be reported immediately, blocked or retrieved.
