The main characteristics of access bank codes are access bank transfer code, access bank airtime recharge code, access bank account balance code.

Access bank was among the first banks to acquaint Nigerians with mobile banking USSD codes.

Nigeria is fast passing the stage when they have to form a long queue in banks just to withdraw money and also queue again just to transfer or send money to somebody. And, the most annoying part of it all is that you need to drive or walk all the way from your house just to go and check your account balance in your bank.

Formerly, it wasn’t even possible to purchase airtime directly from your bank to your phone.

When the ATM (Automated Teller Machine) first arrived in Nigeria, the banking stress was alleviated. You can currently withdraw your money even on public holidays and weekends.

Now with the help of an ATM, you can see details of your account balance, transfer money and even recharge airtime. But, the problem of queuing up hasn’t been completely eliminated.
