GTBank Launches 737 Money Transfer by Mobile Phone
- first of it's kind in Nigeria.

Lagos, Nigeria: May 2015

Guaranty Trust Bank plc has launched another innovative mobile channel which enables GTBank customers conveniently perform third party transfers to both GTBank and other bank account holders in Nigeria, via their mobile phones, by simply dialing the USSD short code *737 with details of the amount and account number (NUBAN) of the beneficiary.

The *737* transfer service is another novel offering pioneered by GTBank in the Nigerian Financial Industry, that is safe, simple and convenient. To initiate transfers to a GTBank account, simply dial *737*1*Amount*NUBAN Account No# e.g. *737*1*1000*1234567890# from the mobile number registered with the Bank. For transfers to beneficiaries in other Bank’s, customers should simply dial *737*2*Amount*NUBAN Account No# e.g. *737*2*1000*1234567890#. Customers will then require the last four digits of their GTBank Naira MasterCard to authenticate each transaction.


The 737 transfer service has been introduced to build on the success of the Bank’s One Click Top –up service; which offers GTBank customers an efficient and easy way to buy airtime on their mobile phones directly from their GTBank account by simply dialing a short USSD code (*737*AMOUNT#).Mr. Segun Agbaje, Managing Director/CEO of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc,
