Seeking best-in-class ways to safeguard the resources of its customers, Access Bank Plc introduced the *901*911# USSD code, a solution that allows customers act swiftly to prevent fraudulent activities on their accounts.

The service allows customers of all account types to deactivate a USSD profile simply by dialing *901*911# from any phone, inputing the registered phone number for the account to be protected and this automatically locks out fraudsters from the individual’s account.
