You can start using *737# for banking if your GTBank USSD code isn’t working. However, you must first activate the GTB transfer code. This post provides a list of GTbank USSD codes, along with a step-by-step tutorial on activating the GTB USSD code for data transfers and airtime purchases to other banks.
What is USSD
It is known as Unstructured Supplementary Service Data. It is a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) protocol that is used to send text messages. USSD is similar to Short Message Service (SMS).
Why Does the GTBank USSD Code Not Function?
There are a few possible reasons why the GTBank USSD code could not be working, including a malfunctioning GT Bank network or a failure to activate the USSD code using your SIM card.
Nevertheless, unless you request that it be unblocked, it won’t function for you if you have already asked for your account to be blocked or the USSD Code transfer to be disabled.
So let’s begin by activating the GT Bank Transfer code (USSD Code) using the techniques that Guarantee Trusted Bank (GTB Bank) recommends.
