Soon access your Bank account detail using *99# on Basic Mobile phones

In coming days bank account holders will be able to access their accounts, transfer funds, check balances and request cheque books by simply dialing *99# from their basic mobile phones,including the most basic GSM handsets.

While some bank have already rolled out similar services for example in SBI it is *595# but now *99# will be a universal code to access account details across all banks.  *99# connectivity is under the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) platform where each dial-in results in a live connection with the bank’s server.
This is similar to the system used in pre-paid phones to check balances. The user’s numerical literacy would be enough to operate the account .Best feature that I liked is that it not based on SMS or GPRS connectivity,  so there’s no charge on the user end.

Get ICICI bank account balance by missed call

ICICI bank has came with innovative idea to its customer to get their account balance using missed call from register mobile. Customer who has registered their mobile number they can avail this facility.To get the balance all they need to just give a missed call to 022-30256767 from your registered mobile and receive a SMS.

The idea seem very innovative because as of now most of bank charge premium SMS rate for SMS banking which is very much costly from Rs 3 to Rs 5 per query.With this idea ICICI bank has at least managed to reduced SMS call charge to its customer. Hope such facility will be provided by other bank. Try this and post the comment.
