These days, the rate of fraud performed on peoples account has increased with the use of the USSD code. Ordinarily, USSD enables easy access for transaction done on one’s account, but when in the wrong hands, this might be a very painful experience.
Immediately your phone is stolen or missing, you should deactivate the USSD service on the bank account linked to the missing or stolen device. The deactivation can be done from any phone.
