Ecobank USSD code *326# and how to block your account
The Ecobank USSD code is *326#. If your card or phone is stolen, Ecobank Nigeria tells customers to dial *326# and block the account immediately, or call customer service. The same code covers everyday banking without data, and it uses your 6-digit Ecobank Mobile PIN if you already use the app.

How to block your Ecobank account or card
Ecobank Nigeria's own advice for scams and stolen cards is to dial *326# or call customer service at once. We haven't found an official Ecobank page confirming a separate card-block shortcut. The *326*911# code on other sites isn't confirmed by Ecobank, so go through the *326# menu.
Ecobank Online, its internet banking service, also lets you block and unblock any debit card linked to your account, which is useful if you're at a computer.
Which PIN *326# uses
Ecobank's USSD reuses the 6-digit PIN from the Ecobank Mobile app. Customers who don't use the app can self-register with their debit card through *326#. If you forget the PIN, reset it in the app.
Cardless withdrawal with Xpress Cash
In the *326# menu, option 3 is Xpress Cash. It generates a token you, or someone you send it to, can use to withdraw at an ATM or Xpress Point without a card.
