Moniepoint Microfinance Bank has introduced a USSD code that allows eligible customers to check whether they qualify for the Federal Government’s ₦50,000 relief package. By dialing the code on any mobile phone, users can view their eligibility status and receive guidance on how to claim the grant.
The new service is part of the bank’s effort to streamline access to government support for its clients. Customers who are eligible can confirm their status instantly, eliminating the need to visit a branch or wait for a call from the bank.
While the specific eligibility criteria are not detailed in the announcement, the relief is a component of the Nigerian government’s broader economic stimulus aimed at easing the financial burden on low‑income households.
Moniepoint’s USSD service is available to all customers who hold an account with the bank and have a registered mobile number. The code can be used on any network and does not require an internet connection.
For more information on the relief programme and how to apply, customers are encouraged to contact Moniepoint customer service or visit the bank’s official website.
