UBA Bank USSD Codes
Banking without data is simple once you know the codes. UBA Bank runs its USSD service from one main code, *919#, and every job starts from there.
The short version
Dial *919# from your registered number, set a 4-digit PIN on first use, then pick transfer, airtime, balance or another option.

Costs and limits
Your network can charge a small fee per USSD session, and a bank fee may apply to some transfers. Limits depend on your account, so ask UBA before a large payment.
If a code does not respond
◆ Check for spaces and missing stars or hashes.
◆ Confirm you are on the registered number.
◆ Dial *919# alone and use the menu, which always matches your account.
Stay safe
◆ Dial the code yourself and ignore codes sent in messages.
◆ Never share your PIN or OTP.
◆ Check the account name before every transfer.
◆ If your phone is lost, ask your network to block the SIM and contact UBA.
One main code opens every UBA Bank USSD service: *919#.
