HOW IT WORKS

USSD Access

Pull out any phone — a basic feature phone, a borrowed handset, a phone with a dead data bundle — and dial *288#. The USSD menu opens straight to the seven things people use Bevura for most: sending money, getting cash, buying airtime, paying bills, saving, checking your balance, and managing your account. Same wallet, same security, no download required.

  • 1. Send Money — to other Bevura wallets, banks, or mobile money
  • 2. Get Cash — initiate an agent withdrawal
  • 3. Buy Airtime — for yourself or other
  • 4. Pay Bills — utilities, e-Government, and more
  • 5. Savings — Pangolin, Baobab, and Tisonke balances
  • 6. Check Balance — instant wallet balance
  • 7. My Account — PIN change, profile, support

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to use USSD?

Any phone that can dial a USSD code — including basic feature phones. No internet, no app, no data bundle.

Are USSD transactions secure?

Every transaction is PIN-authorised on the same Bevura backend the app uses, with the same wallet safeguards under Bank of Zambia licence 06/PSB/2024.

Does USSD cost extra?

Standard operator USSD session charges may apply per session — these are billed by your mobile operator, not Bevura. Bevura transaction fees are the same as in the app.

Can I do everything in USSD that I can in the app?

The seven most-used actions are on USSD. Richer features — QR payments, transaction-history search, spending insights, group administration — live in the app.
