Moniepoint adds USSD check for FG's ₦50k NERSI relief - dial *5573*27#
Moniepoint Microfinance Bank now lets customers check eligibility for the Federal Government's ₦50,000 National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention (NERSI) via USSD. Dial 557327# from your registered phone number and select the eligibility check option. If confirmed as a beneficiary, you'll be guided to accept the support and receive funds directly into your Moniepoint account—no extra cost, no additional documentation, no third-party agents needed.
The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction determines eligibility using verified national identity records and the National Social Register. The programme rolls out in phases nationwide, so not all customers qualify simultaneously. Moniepoint MD Babatunde Olofin urges customers to use only the official USSD code and contact customer service or the NERSI helpdesk (0700 022 2222) with questions.
Context: The World Bank reports FG disbursed ₦658.9 billion to 10.46 million vulnerable households by September 2026, but 19.78 million households remain classified as vulnerable on the National Social Register—only 5.5 million have received support so far.
