In this blog post, I will show you how to block UBA Bank account and ATM card using different methods.
Why You Need to Block UBA Bank Account/ATM Card
Losing your ATM card or SIM card that is linked to your bank account can be a nightmare. You never know who might find them and try to access your money or personal information.
That’s why you need to block your account or card immediately to prevent unauthorized transactions and protect your funds.
How to Block UBA Bank Account/ATM Card
There are several ways you can block your UBA Bank account or ATM card, depending on your situation and preference. Here are some of the most common methods:
Via Internet Banking
If you have access to the internet, you can log in to your UBA internet banking portal and go to the “Cards” section.
There, you can select the card you want to block and click on the “Block” button. You will receive a confirmation message and an email notification.
Via Customer Support
If you don’t have internet access or you prefer to speak to a human, you can call the UBA customer support line at 01-2808822 or 07002255822.
You will need to provide some details to verify your identity, such as your account number, name, date of birth, etc.
The customer service agent will then block your account or card for you.
Via USSD Code
If you have a phone that can dial USSD codes, you can use this method to block your UBA Bank account or ATM card.
Simply dial *919*10# from any phone and follow the prompts. You will need to enter your PIN or the last four digits of your card number to confirm the action.
Via UBA Bank Mobile App
If you have the UBA Bank mobile app installed on your phone, you can use it to block your account or card as well.
Just open the app and tap on the “Cards” icon. Then, select the card you want to block and tap on the “Block” option. You will need to enter your PIN or password to complete the process.
How to Block UBA Bank ATM Card from Another Phone
Sometimes, you may lose not only your ATM card but also your phone that is linked to your bank account. In that case, you may want to block your ATM card from another phone as soon as possible. Here’s how:
- To block your UBA Bank ATM card from another phone, you can use any of the methods mentioned above, except for the USSD code and the mobile app. You can either log in to your internet banking portal from another device or call the customer support line from another phone.
- Alternatively, you can visit any UBA branch near you and report the loss of your ATM card and phone. You will need to present some identification documents and fill out a form. The bank staff will then block your account or card for you.
Have you ever experienced a UBA Bank account hack? If so, you know how scary and frustrating it can be. Someone may have stolen your login details, card information, or personal data and used them to make unauthorized transactions or purchases.
What to Do If Your UBA Bank Account Is Hacked
If you suspect that your UBA Bank account has been hacked, you need to act fast and take the following steps:
- Contact UBA Bank immediately: The first thing you should do is call the UBA customer support line at 01-2808822 or 07002255822 and report the incident. You will need to provide some details to verify your identity, such as your account number, name, date of birth, etc. The customer service agent will then block your account or card and stop any further transactions.
- Change your passwords and PINs: The next thing you should do is change your passwords and PINs for your internet banking portal, mobile app, ATM card, and any other services that are linked to your bank account. You should also enable two-factor authentication if possible. This will prevent the hacker from accessing your account again or using your information elsewhere.
- Check your statements and transactions: You should also review your bank statements and transactions for any suspicious or unfamiliar activity. You can do this online, on the mobile app, or by visiting a branch. If you notice any unauthorized charges or transfers, you should dispute them with the bank and request a refund or reversal.
- Report the fraud to the authorities: Finally, you should report the fraud to the relevant authorities, such as the police, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), or the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). You may need to file a complaint or provide some evidence of the hack. This will help them investigate the case and catch the culprit.
