What do I dial to check my account balance?

To check your account balance, you must call the specific customer service number or dial the mobile banking USSD code provided by your specific bank, mobile carrier, or EBT program.

Because there is no single universal number to dial for every account, use these standard methods to find your balance:

By Phone or USSD Code

  • Bank Accounts: Call the toll-free customer service phone number printed on the back of your debit or credit card. Follow the automated phone prompts and enter your account number and PIN. If your bank supports mobile USSD codes (common internationally), you typically dial a specific shortcode like *901# or your bank's specific mobile banking code from your registered phone number.
  • Mobile Phone Plans: Dial #225 (#BAL) on carriers like US Cellular, or call your carrier's customer service line (such as 611).
  • EBT / Food Assistance: Call your state's EBT customer service hotline (for example, the Georgia EBT helpline at 1-888-421-3281 or check details via the Georgia Department of Human Services).

Alternative Ways to Check

  • Mobile App: Open your institution's official mobile application and log in with your credentials or biometric data (face/fingerprint).
  • Online Banking: Visit your provider's official website on a browser and log into your account dashboard.
  • ATM: Insert your card and enter your PIN at an affiliated ATM to view or print your balance.
