Keep this page open and you can move money, top up airtime and check your balance without a data connection.
TAJBank is a Nigerian non-interest bank, founded in 2019 and based in Abuja. It runs on Islamic banking principles and received its Central Bank licence in July 2019. Its USSD code, *898#, is listed on its Wikipedia page and in several bank-code guides. The menu options below come from a third-party guide, so treat them as a starting point and let your own screen have the last word.

Bank-code formats are the easiest part to get wrong. If the other-bank format does not work, open *898# and choose the transfer option so the menu guides you through each step.
How to register
1. Dial *898# from the phone number linked to your TAJBank account.
2. Choose the registration option.
3. Create a 4-digit PIN for authorising transactions.
4. Follow the remaining prompts until the service confirms you are set up.
Forgot your PIN? The guide says to dial *898# and look for PIN management in the menu.
Limits and charges
The same guide reports a daily transfer limit of N200,000 and says raising it means visiting a branch. It also says standard charges apply to transfers while airtime recharges are free. Because that information comes from a third-party blog, confirm the figures with TAJBank before you plan a big payment.
Reports mention bill payments, mini statements and loan applications. No shortcut codes are given for those, so dial *898# and look through the options rather than guessing a code.
Safe habits
★ Dial only from your registered number.
★ Never tell anyone your PIN, even a caller who says they are from the bank.
★ Double-check the account number and bank before confirming.
★ Save the confirmation SMS until the credit shows on the other side.
Save *898# as “TAJBank” in your contacts, register once, and send yourself a small test transfer before you need it in a hurry.
