TRIXX NG reports that more light has been shed on the new payment suddenly enforced on the usage of USSD services by Nigerian banks customers.

Several users were shocked some days ago when they received messages that they will be required to pay N6.98 to be able to use the USSD services especially for money transfer and other services apaer from airtime purchases and data purchases.

This sparked outrage among Nigerians as some didn’t know who exactly to blame between the bank and mobile network providers, however, further diggings have revealed that the mobile networks are the masterminds of this sudden development.

According an official statement, the money being deducted from the account of bank customers will be remitted fully to mobile networks, meaning the banks are not involved in this.
