Globus Bank USSD codes in Nigeria, in one table
Everything starts with one code, *989#. Once you have registered, the shortcuts below let you jump straight to a task. Swap the capitalised words for real digits before you dial, and keep the stars and hash signs exactly as shown.
| Code | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| *989# | Opens the main menu and registration | *989# |
| *989*0# | Checks your account balance | *989*0# |
| *989*Amount# | Buys airtime for your own number | *989*500# |
| *989*Amount*Phone Number# | Buys airtime for another number | *989*200*08012345678# |
| *989*1*Amount*Account Number# | Sends money to a Globus Bank account | *989*1*5000*1234567890# |
| *989*2*Amount*Account Number# | Sends money to another bank | *989*2*5000*1234567890# |
| *989*3# | Opens bill payments | *989*3# |
| *989*5# | Changes or resets your PIN | *989*5# |
| *989*6# | Blocks your account | *989*6# |
Where these come from: the main code and the registration steps appear in two guides. The numbered shortcuts come from one third-party guide, while another describes the same features as menu choices. If a shortcut is rejected, dial *989# and use the menu.

What does it cost, and what are the limits?
None of the guides we read state Globus Bank’s USSD fees or daily limits. Mobile networks commonly bill a small session charge on USSD transactions, so check the rate with your network. Ask Globus Bank about limits before you plan a large transfer.
4 dialing mistakes and their fixes
| Mistake | What happens | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Typing the word Amount | Invalid format message | Type digits only, for example 500 |
| Leaving out the final hash | Menu never opens or session hangs | Finish with # every time |
| Dialing from another SIM | Profile not found | Use the registered number, and pick the right SIM on a dual-SIM phone |
| Waiting too long on a prompt | Session times out | Dial again and reply promptly |
3 habits for a smoother session
Plan the prompts. Know the amount and the account number before you dial, because USSD sessions time out when you pause.
Type digits only. Write 5000, not N5,000. Commas and currency signs can break a code.
Keep the confirmation. Wait for the notification or SMS before you tell the other person the money is on its way.
Copy this table into your notes. Then dial *989*0# once to confirm your registration works.
