Zenith Bank Plc, one of Nigeria’s most innovative and service focused banks has announced an upgrade of its 9660# account opening USSD string to now support account opening with just your BVN (Bank Verification Number) and Date of Birth.
9660# is one of the offerings available on Zenith Bank’s *966# EazyBanking; a service that enables the Bank’s customers to perform electronic banking transactions with any phone (smart and feature) without needing data. Such transactions include airtime purchase, money transfers to zenith and other bank accounts, bill payments, debit card restriction, account opening and lots more.
