Eco Bank Transfer Code And Eco Bank Ussd Code
Eco Bank is one of the leading banks in Nigeria with a large customer base across the country. The bank offers various services including savings accounts, current accounts, fixed deposits, loans, and more. Eco Bank also has user-friendly digital banking platforms that allow customers to carry out transactions conveniently on their mobile phones or computers. Two important features of Eco Bank’s digital banking are the transfer code and USSD code.
The transfer code allows Eco Bank customers to easily transfer money to other Eco Bank accounts or even other banks. To initiate a transfer on the Eco Bank mobile app or Internet banking, you need to enter the recipient’s account number, name, amount to transfer, and the transfer code. The default transfer code is the customer’s date of birth in the DDMMYYYY format. However, for security reasons, customers are advised to change the default code to a unique 6-digit number known only to them.

1. Log in to your Eco Bank internet banking or mobile app
2. Click on ‘Transfer Code’ under Services
3. Enter your current default transfer code
4. Enter your new 6-digit transfer code twice and click Submit.
Once the transfer code is set, you can then use it to authenticate all your money transfers on Eco Bank digital platforms. The transfer code prevents unauthorized transactions on your account.
On the other hand, the Eco Bank USSD code *326# allows you to access the bank’s services on your mobile phone using the USSD protocol. No internet connection is needed.
