What does zenith bank token mean
The Zenith bank token is a 6-digit figure that is used as a password for the authentication of a certain transaction. Once you use the password once, you cannot use it again. The token can be obtained from the Zenith e-Token App. However, recently, news of how to generate Zenith bank token using USSD has been going round.
How to generate Zenith bank token using USSD
Is it possible to generate Zenith bank token using USSD? No, you can’t. The only time you’d need a token is when you are making an online transaction. Examples of such transactions include payment for light bills and other transactions.
Since anyone could be using your details to pay, the bank sends a code known as a token to the contact addresses that you used to register your account. The token is usually sent as a message to your phone number or via your email.
Note that this password works with time, and that is for the security of your transaction. So, ensure that you use the token in time. If you perhaps prefer using the app, you can follow the steps below;
- Launch the Zenith bank e-token app
- Enter your PIN
- Tap the Generate OTP Token Code
- You can then use the code that you generate to finish the transaction.
If you cannot generate a token using the procedures above, it’s most likely you haven’t activated your Zenith Bank e-token app. Here the ways you can go about the activation.
