GTBank : How to FX Transfer Without Using Hardware Token

GTBank FX Transfer without Hardware Token

So many transactions can be carried out with the token (i.e *737*6#) when transferring payment on GTBank (Guaranty Trust Bank) internet and mobile banking platforms when it comes to local transactions for savings and current account holders, but this is not the case for domiciliary account holders when making FX (international) transactions.

Before now, all GTBank domiciliary account holders are required to purchase the hardware token to be able to make FX Transfer, but I am happy to tell you that this is no longer the case. The good news is, you can now make FX Transfer right on your mobile phone without using GTBank internet banking service. Keep reading to learn how.

Currently, GTB have three mobile apps available for their customers to carry out their daily banking activities without needing to physically visit the bank:

  1. GTBank Mobile Money
  2. GTWorld
  3. Bank 737 Mobile app

The Mobile Money app and the 737 app allowed users to do lot of things, such as check balance, make local transactions, request statement, buy airtime and data from select network carriers, and carry out other various services i.e pay DSTV subscription, but only the GTWorld mobile app can be use to make FX Transfer.

I’m here to teach you how you can do this step-by-step.

You need to have an active (functioning) GTBank domiciliary account before you can use the FX Transfer service. Opening a domiciliary account is easy, you can get it done by visiting any GTBank branch around you with a valid acceptable identity card (driver license, international passport or national ID), a recent utility bill (not more than three months), two passports, and two referees (must be current account holders).

Lets proceed:

First, download GTWorld mobile app to your smartphone from the link below:

GTWorld for Android
GTWorld for iOS

If you are using GTWorld for the first time you will need to use your internet banking “user id” and “password” to login. After login in, you will be required to choose your method of authentication. I suggest you choose the PIN method. Enter four digit PIN you can easily remember and save. A confirmation message will be sent to your verified number and email.
