EXCLUSIVE: Leaked memo shows banks asked telcos to charge for USSD | TheCable bit.ly/2o7ztqz Cc: @cenbank
@cenbank @MTNNG @GloWorld @AirtelNigeria @9mobileng @NgComCommission @gtbank Nigerian banks proposed to telecom companies to charge customers directly for USSD services, a memo seen by TheCable has revealed. bit.ly/2o7ztqz via @thecableng
@cenbank @MTNNG @GloWorld @AirtelNigeria @9mobileng @NgComCommission @gtbank This seems to contradict the public denial by bank CEOs on Monday.

They said the decision “on whether, and what amount, to charge a customer for accessing USSD is entirely that of the telco company, in the same way a customer is billed for calls, SMS and data”.
@cenbank @MTNNG @GloWorld @AirtelNigeria @9mobileng @NgComCommission @gtbank On Sunday, @MTNNG sent this message to its customers: “Please note that from Oct 21, we will charge N4 per 20 seconds for USSD access to banking services. Thank you.” bit.ly/2o7ztqz via @thecableng
@cenbank @MTNNG @GloWorld @AirtelNigeria @9mobileng @NgComCommission @gtbank .@DrIsaPantami, the minister of communications, immediately directed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to suspend the new charge. bit.ly/2o7ztqz via @thecableng
