In addition to all of these I only allow my transactionary to be linked to internet banking banking and cards.


My large inflow in strictly based on old banking methods with just email notifications. I can't take chances with the multitude of scammers in the country, my dad fell prey to these devils

UBA is the latest avenue those thieves are using now. How can a bank so useless like UBA? Very lazy idiot workers. U will be referring ur customer to go to Facebook and complain to one LEO, whereby exposing ur customers details to scammers. Very foolish bank.

How do I lock my sim card please?

Have a bank that you can only access only when you visit the bank. Never collect ATM, don't use USSD or mobile app on this .

Once your sim card is locked there's no way a thief can have access to your bank should your phone be stolen

Even with all these, Nigerian hackers will still break in your and get the money, because our banking system is too poros and weak.
Best thing to do, after applying all the op recommend, is limit the amount you can transfer at a time with your bank app to the minimum, use your ATM for larger transfers and try not to lose your phone.
Number 2 is the ultimate, when a SIM card is locked I wonder how one would get access

PUK is easy to get if na you the SIM.

- Dial *123*7*3# (Can be done from anybody's sim)

- enter your phone number
- Answer 3 questions
Q1 - Mother maiden name
Q2 - DOB
Q3 - Frequent called number

That's all, you'll receive an SMS with the PUK

Check your sim pack, there is a manual there. You will see the default PIN, use it first and change the PIN. If you no longer have the pack, call the customer line to assist you with the default PIN. Then go to the settings on your phone and look carefully, you will see an option for it.
Make sure you have your PUK no before you start. Because if you enter the wrong pin 3 times, your sim will be blocked and you need the PUK no to unblock it.
