Ukp says
This code is the wrong code. I’m currently at the bank going through the long process of reactivating my account which I locked down by using this code when I lost my ATM. When a customer loses his ATM card, what he requires is the blocking of that ATM card such that any details on it can’t be used for further transactions. Not for the account to be blocked. There is a code for blocking ATM which I was just informed of in the bank, it is *737*51*10#. If I had done this I would not have even needed to go to the banking hall. I’d have replaced the card at a card dispensing ATM machine in a manner of 2 minutes. Now I’ve been here 3 hours and counting
