Can I send how much with Leo?

Use Leo because it might be more affordable and convenient than USSD. Additionally, it is more approachable and engaging than USSD.

You’ll need at least 20 naira to use UBA USSD banking (*919#). Your Telco operator will then typically charge you (see DCB below) for using their network at the time a transaction is initiated (such as MTN, Glo, 9Mobile, and Airtel). Why not utilize Leo, which does not time out like USSD, instead of saving your money to buy data?

Timing out indicates that you will need to make a fresh payment to start a new transaction. Additionally, many folks I know who always have access to mobile data or the internet may not have airtime credit. Should they therefore be denied access to banking services?

Similarities and differences between Leo and UBA USSD (“USSD)

• Leo is a session-less technology, whereas USSD is a session-based technology. As a result, you can resume where you left off after a long time. similar to how you respond to Facebook messages from others days later.
• Users can open UBA accounts, transfer money to UBA and other banks, purchase airtime, pay bills, and obtain a mini statement using Leo and UBA USSD, respectively. Leo allows you to carry out higher-order transactions, such sending more than 20,000 naira to another account. Because Leo uses additional security measures like OTP (One-Time-Password) for user authentication rather than USSD, which does not, this is made possible (however, they usually ask for the PIN).
• Leo and USSD are both interactive systems.
• Whether a customer utilizes Leo or USSD, bank fees and charges still apply to transactions.
• Leo, on the other hand, is an internet-based program that can run on any source of internet (such Wifi and Mobile Data) without any Telco charging you extra for using Leo, unlike USSD uses Direct Carrier Billing for transfer charges.
• Leo requires the installation of Messenger, whereas USSD doesn’t.
• Leo requires smartphones to function because, for phones, Messenger operates on Android, iOS, and Windows while USSD works on all GSM mobile phones (feature and smart) (although, it is pulling support from Windows Phone 8 and 8.1).

Other things to note

P.S. You can visit the menu tab at the bottom of the chat at any moment while having a conversation with Leo. This gives you immediate access to “My Account” and “My services” menu options.

“My profile

There are three dropdown list options under “My Account”: “Balance Enquiry,” “Transaction Alerts,” and “Link new UBA account” (to a Messenger account)

Similar to that, “My services offers three dropdown list options: Transfer money, Airtime Topup, and Mini statement.”

The “recommended responses to Leo’s already pre-programmed inquiries” are also presented for some of those menu selections that remain at the bottom of the page. Therefore, you can either manually type in what you want to do or just click on it (which will show up in your chat history as a message from you).

Since I had a UBA Bank account, which was fortunate for me, it then asked for the account number, which I provided, and continued the dialogue till I succeeded in my goal (send money).

It would have offered to make one for me right away if I didn’t have one, saving me the trouble of going to a branch. I am aware because I have used it!

You might find this strangely exciting if this is your first time interacting with a chatbot (like Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa). However, because Siri, Google Assistant, and similar systems are more capable, they frequently provide responses that are more intelligent, especially when it comes to NLP (NLP). Given that Leo is only a chatBot and not a fully-fledged AI personal assistant, this is understandable. Leo to Siri is not an Apple to Apple comparison, therefore.

Perhaps evaluating the effectiveness of one of the 100,000 active bots on Messenger each month might produce a more accurate comparison.

In conclusion, using Leo saves money and avoids the fee that many Telcos often charge for USSD transfers. And if this is a success, we might even see other banks adopt this strategy and create ChatBots to communicate with their (present and potential) clients.
