MTN and CSCS Launches the USSD Code *7270# to Facilitate Easier Access to Stock Trading
In order to change the way Nigerians invest, MTN and CSCS have launched a USSD code, *7270#, to make stock trading easier for everyone. This new service, which will go live on May 8, 2025, means you won’t need the internet or a smartphone to check or manage your stocks. It’s especially good news for people in rural areas or those who don’t have fancy phones.
With the MTN and CSCS USSD code *7270#, investors can now do things like check their Clearing House Number (CHN), see if their cash settlements are done, look at how many shares they own, and even confirm their account balance-all from any basic mobile phone. All you have to do is dial *7270# and follow the simple instructions on your screen. This is a big step forward for people who have found it hard to join the stock market before, either because they live far from the city or don’t have access to the internet.
Haruna Jalo-Waziri, the CEO of CSCS, is excited about what this means for everyday Nigerians. “We’re really happy to launch the *7270# USSD code service,” he said. “This is a huge step towards making sure everyone, no matter where they are or what kind of phone they have, can stay informed about their investments. With this service, every investor can feel empowered and in control.”
Aisha Mumuni, who leads digital services at MTN Nigeria, also shared her thoughts. “Working with CSCS on the *7270# USSD code for easier trading is part of our promise to use technology to make life simpler for our customers,” she explained. “Now, important investment information is just a button away. This will help more people take part in the stock market and make the whole process more open and fair.”
For now, this service is only available to MTN users, but CSCS has plans to make it available on other networks soon. This is all part of a bigger effort to make Nigeria’s capital markets more modern and inclusive. By using the power of mobile phones, MTN and CSCS are making sure that anyone who wants to invest can do so, no matter where they are or what kind of phone they use.
The launch of the MTN and CSCS USSD code for easier stock trading is a big deal for financial inclusion in Nigeria. It means that more people can take part in the economy, keep track of their money, and make smart investment choices. And because the service is easy to use and works on any phone, it’s opening doors for millions of Nigerians who have been left out before.

By launching the USSD code *7270#, MTN and CSCS have made stock trading easier than ever. No more barriers, no more excuses-just dial and go. This is a real win for Nigeria’s investors, and a big step forward for financial inclusion in the country.
