Gtbank Add more security to 737 Shortcode Service

If you are a client of Guaranty Trust Bank, the code * 737 # will not be new to you. We all know how easy it is to operate the GTBank 737 shortcode service. You can buy Airtime, check your balance, make a transfer etc using this short code of service. Only required for the last 4 digits of your ATM card before processing any transaction. 4-digit PIN is only for processing your transactions.

But now, GTBank has made the service even more secured. Using just the last 4 digits on your ATM card isn't secured at all; because anyone who steals your phone and wallet (where your bank card is likely to be) can use the service

Well, GTBank has looked into this and now made it more secured. The service now requires a 4-digit PIN to be able to complete transactions on the service. That is certainly a more secure approach to the service than the previous use of your card’s last 4 digits. It is a surprise that it took 11 months, but better late than never.
