The good thing about the USSD code is that it works on all kinds of mobile phones, internet-enabled or not. Whether you dial it from an android smartphone or from the old version of Nokia3310, the code works.

Within seconds of dialing, the transaction will be fully executed. Your GTB account will be debited and the recipient will have the money instantly credited to his account.

To activate GTBank Transfer Code, you must use your GTBank registered line which is your alert line.

How to Register Gtbank Transfer Code

A transfer or transaction PIN is needed to complete or authenticate a transfer. It was introduced in the first quarter of 2017 to make the mobile banking USSD code more secure.

Before then, you need the last 4 digits of your ATM card to complete transactions which is not too secure for most people, especially for your siblings or children.

Take me for example, everybody I know has access to my ATM card meaning they can easily transfer to themselves if they can get their hands on my alert number.

Below is how to create a transfer pin.

Dial *737*5# with your alert number or *737# >> 7.
Type 1 to activate with your ATM card or 2 with your account number.
For option 1, enter the last 6 digits of your card.
If you input 2, you have to enter your 10-digit Nuban account number.
Enter any 4 digits you can easily remember to create or change your transfer PIN.
Confirm the entered PIN by typing it again.

That’s it you have successfully changed your transaction PIN and you are ready to make your first transfer.

Gtbank to Gtbank Transfer Code

Using the mobile line registered to your bank account (where you do receive payment alerts), dial *737*1*Amount *RecipientAccountNumber#
The moment you dial the above code after entering the amount of money you want to transfer and the account number of the recipient, you will be asked to input the last 4 digits of your ATM card. Bear in mind that the ATM card digits you enter here are the last 4 digits of the Naira Mastercard issued to you by GTBank.
After that, you will receive a notification on your screen from the bank telling you if your transaction is successful or not.

A Practical Example.

Let’s assume you want to send N5000 to Mr. Haruna Chukwuma Oluwasegun whose GTB account number is 0000001112
You will have to get the phone line where you do receive notifications of transactions from your bank
Dial *737* 1* on the phone and follow it up with the amount you wish to send to Mr. Haruna Chukwuma Oluwasegun and his account number. Press the #button and SEND
That means the whole code will now be *737*1* 5000*0000001112#
Once you dial that, you will be required to enter your ATM card’s last 4 digits to authenticate the transaction
After that, the transaction will be processed

Having discussed that, let’s move on to how to send money to non-GTBank account holders.
